In this paper, we develop a simple algorithm for obtaining the global solution to a small scale fixed-charge transportation problem (FCTP). The procedure itself is very quick. The proposed method solves FCTP by decomposing the problem into series of smaller sub-problems, which is novel and can...

In this paper we present a new approximation for computing lower bound for the fixed charge transportation problem (FCTP). The lower bounds thus generated delivered 87% optimal solutions for 56 randomly generated small, up to 6×10 in size, problems in an experimental design. For somewhat...
