APPLICATION OF OPTIMALITY TEST

The practical steps involved in Optimality Test are given below:

Step 1 → Compute “Ui and “Vj for all Rows and Columns respectively on the basis of Allocated Cells such that Cij = Ui + Vj after taking any Ui or Vj = 0,

where Cij = Shipping Cost per unit of Occupied Cell;

           i   = Row Number;

           j   = Column Number;

          Ui  = Shipping Cost per unit of Supplying Station; and

          Vj  = Shipping Cost per unit of Receiving Station

Note: While taking any Ui or Vj = 0, that row or column which is having maximum allocated cells, should preferably be selected.

 
Step 2 → Compute Opportunity Cost, or say OC, for Unallocated Cells where OC = Cij - (Uij + Vij).
 
Step 3 → If ‘OC’ ...
