PENYELESAIAN MODEL TRANSPORTASI MENGGUNAKAN METODE ASM

Abstract

Transportation problem is related by goods shipments from sources (supplies) to destination
(demand). the method that could be used for solving the transportation problem is to directly find the
optimal solution. The direct method that used in this study id the ASM method for solving the balance
transportation problem and revised ASM method for solving the unbalance transportation problem.
This study aims to construct a transportation model using those methods and it solution. The method
on this study is to identify the transportation model, construct the transportation model matrixes,
construct an algorithm table using ASM method and to determine the optimal solution of the
transportation problem. The obtained result from this study was the model ASM method could
determine the optimum value without using initial feasible solution. On solving the unbalance
transportation problem, there is an addition of dummy cell or column step. Then reducing the cost of
cell and column and change the dummy cost with the biggest cost of reduced cell or column.
