What is Transportation:-

Transportation is the movement of people and goods from oneplace to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across")and portare ("to carry"). Industries which have the business ofproviding equipment, actual transport, or goods and services used intransport of goods or people make up a large broad and importantsector of most national economies, and are collectively refered to astransport industries.

MODE OF TRANSPORTATION

Broadly speaking, transportation means can be classified as under:-

1. Land transport2. Water transport3. Air transport

Land Transport:-

Sometime around the late Neolithic age, man learned how todomesticate animals. He used horse and other beasts of burden to notonly help him till the soil but also for transportationpurposes. However, the invention of Wheel, around 4000-3500 BC,

entirely changed mans outlook towards life. Transportation becamefaster. Not only could man himself travel faster but also take loads ofgoods along with him to distant places. Thus, was also born the ideaof trade and exchange.

The land mark inventions that followed are as under:

Two-wheel chariot - worlds first form of wheeledtransportation - invented in Sumeria, around 3500 BC. Thiseventually led to invention of four-wheel chariot in duecourse.

Cart driven by a steam turbine, build by a Jesuit missionaryin China1670 AD

Modern bicyclesinvented1790 AD Richard Trevithick invented the first steam powered

locomotive (for roads) -1801 AD


9/35

George Stephenson invented the first practical steampowered railroad locomotive1814 AD

Jean Lenoir made a gasoline engine automobile1862 AD Invention of Internal Combustion Enginebya Frenchman

named Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir1860 AD 1867- First motorcycle invented 1885 - Karl Benz builds the world's first practical automobile

to be powered by an internal combustion engine

First experiment of electric powered trains1895 AD Henry Ford improves the assembly line for automobile

manufacturing1908 AD

During World War II, the diesel engine came into widespread use,and steam was almost completely forgotten. Advancements havecontinued to be made in the time since.

Water Transport

It is interesting to note that man had developed means of travelingon water even before he had domesticated the horse. Though theorigin of the dugout boat still remains one of historys great

mysteries, but it does indicate that man had known how to travel onwater long before other means of transport developed. Thishistorians point may have been due to an accidental invention.Nevertheless, the addition of the boat changed the face of watertransportation.

At first, Simple boats evolved to include a large square of clothmounted on a central pole. This cloth was called a sail. The sailaided in navigation and wind pressure propelled the boat. Soon thisgave way to sail-propelled ships. Later, these sail-propelled shipsgrew bigger in size while sleeker in design. First the oars andrudders and then the deck covers were also included in the ships

design.

With the advent of automation in 19th

century, water transportationchanged forever. Ships shed their sails. Now more goods andpeople could be transported faster.

The landmark inventions in water transportation are as under:

Cornelis Drebbel invented the first submarine in 1620 AD First practical steamboat demonstrated by Marquis Claude

-1783 AD Steamboat invented1787 AD First diesel-powered ship1912 AD Hovercraft invented1956 AD First nuclear powered ship launched1958 AD

Air Transport

Mans next stride in transportation looked not to the land, or even to

the seas, but to the sky. Although many people had toyed with theidea offlight,but the first sustained, controlled flight took place only inDecember 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The inventorsof this new flying machine were brothers Orville and WilburWright, two bicycle makers. They invented a bicycle propelledcontraption which later evolved into jet-propelled aircraft capableof world-wide mass transfer. It came to be called the aeroplane.Aeroplane made it easier for people to travel great distances in lesstime.

The land mark inventions in air transportationare as under:-

Leonardo da Vinci - first to seriously theorize about flying

machines - with over 100 drawings that illustrated his theories

on flight1492 AD

The Montgolfier brothers invent the first hot air balloons 1783 AD

The Wright Brothers invent and fly the first engine airplane 1903 AD

Very first helicopter though an unsuccessful design 1907AD

General Mathematical Modelof Transportation Problem

Let there be m sources of supply, S1, S2, .,Sm having ai(i=1,2,3,4..n) unit of supply (or capacity) respectively, to be

transported among n destination D1, D2,Dn with bj(j=1,2,3,4,,n) units of demand (or requirement ) respectively.Let Cij be the cost of shipping one unit of the commodity from sourcei to destination j for each route. If X ij represent number of unitsshipped per route from source i to destination j, the problem is to

determine the transportation schedule so as to minimize the totaltransportation cost satisfying supply and demand conditions.Mathematically, the problem is general may be started as follows;

Minimize (total cost) Z= (1)

Subject to the constraints (Supply constrains) (2)

(Demand Constrains) (3)

And Xij 0 for all i and j

For easy presentation and solution, a transportation problemdata is generally presented as shown in table

Existence of Feasible Solution:-

A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a feasible

solution to the transportation problem (1) and (4) is

Total supply= Total Demand

In this problem, there are (m+n) constrains one for each source of

supply and distinction and m n variables. Since all (m+n)constraints are equations, since the transportation model is alwaysbalanced ( total supply= total demand), one of these equation is extra(redundant). The extra constraints equation can derive from the otherconstraint equations without affecting the feasible solution. It followsthat any feasible solution for a transportation problem must haveexactly (m+n-1) non negative basic variables (or allocations)

Calculation of TransportationCost

Transportation cost are calculated by three methods, they are:1. North East Corner Method2. Lowest Cost Entry Method3. Vogels Approximation Method (VAM)

1.North-West corner method (NWCM)

The North West corner rule is a method for computing a basicfeasible solution of a transportation problem where the basic variablesare selected from the NorthWest corner (i.e., top left corner).

Steps:-1.Select the north west (upper left-hand) corner cell of thetransportation table and allocate as many units as possible equal to theminimum between available supply

and demand requirements, i.e., min (s1, d1).

2.Adjust the supply and demand numbers in the respective rows andcolumns allocation.

3. If the supply for the first row is exhausted then move down to thefirst cell in the second row4.If the demand for the first cell is satisfied then move horizontally to

the next cell in the second column.5.If for any cell supply equals demand then the next allocation can bemade in cell either in the next row or column.6.Continue the procedure until the total available quantity is fullyallocated to the cellsas required.

The transpotetion cost is given by :-

T= 11 200 + 13 150 + 18 175 + 14 125 + 13 150 + 10 250

= Rs 12200

1.Least Cost Method

Matrix minimum method is a method for computing a basic feasiblesolution of a

transportation problem where the basic variables are chosen accordingto the unit cost of transportation.

Steps1.Identify the box having minimum unit transportation cost (cij).2. If there are two or more minimum costs, select the row and thecolumn corresponding to the lower numbered row3. If they appear in the same row, select the lower numbered column.4. Choose the value of the corresponding xij as much as possible

subject to the capacity and requirement constraints.5.If demand is satisfied, delete the column .6. If supply is exhausted, delete the row.7.Repeat steps 1-6 until all restrictions are satisfied.

2. By Vogels Approximation

Method:

The Vogel approximation method is an iterative procedure forcomputing a basic feasiblesolution of the transportation problem.

Steps1.Identify the boxes having minimum and next to minimumtransportation cost in each row and write the difference (penalty)along the side of the table against theCorresponding row.2. Identify the boxes having minimum and next to minimumtransportation cost in each column and write the difference (penalty)against the corresponding column

3. Identify the maximum penalty. If it is along the side of the table,make maximum allotment to the box having minimum cost oftransportation in that row. If it isbelow the table, make maximum allotment to the box havingminimum cost oftransportation in that column.4. If the penalties corresponding to two or more rows or columns areequal, select the top most row and the extreme left column

Objective of study

The main objective of transportation is Physical distribution of goodsand services from several supply centers to demand centers. Deliverythe goods at right time at right place.Objective of the transportation is to minimize the overall costs byincreasing operational efficiency of the manufacturing process.

1)Increased efficiency

2) Improved customer service

3)Increased sales4) Improved relationships

1.Increased efficiency

To increase efficiency, a company must develop cost-effective

transportation rates while reducing overhead, total inventory, and

overall cost-per-order processing. You can improve your warehouse

operations, including processes, layout, and flow, by working closelywith your transportation provider. Establish a two-way relationship

with your carrier to frequently share best practices, issues, and

opportunities.

2.Improved customer service

In direct marketing enterprises, fulfilment operations are in

partnership with marketing and merchandising. This partnership islike a three-legged stool without all three legs the stool cannot

stand. Fulfilment operations inbound and outbound transportation is

key to delivering marketings promise to the customer to get the

shipment delivered on time and in good condition.

3.Increased sales

Several opportunities exist for improving service, and those in turn

can be used to marketings advantage. Look at inbound and outbound


28/35

freight as separate operations with separate

requirements. Bundle the volumes wherever possible

with your carriers, but recognize the differences

between the channels.1) Building relationships

True two-way collaboration between retailer and carrier is key

to the success of logistics execution. Measures of success are

total cost, time in transit, and responsiveness of the carrier
