On the Loading Problem--A Comment

Eilon and Christofides (E & C), in their paper on "The Loading Problem" [Eilon, S., N. Christofides. 1971. The loading problem. Management Sci. 17(5, January) 259-268.], suggest a solution using a heuristic algorithm. In this note we would like to present a simpler heuristic algorithm which is easier to solve, has less computations and reaches an optimal solution as often as E & C's reaches in the same number of cases.
