Modelo de Transporte - Investigación de Operaciones

This course delves into the algorithms for finding initial solutions to transportation problems, aiming for the lowest possible cost. You'll learn about the core algorithm for achieving the optimal solution and how to handle various scenarios that may arise during its application.

We'll cover the manual solution of fundamental algorithms to obtain a provisional solution and its corresponding objective. The focus will then shift to obtaining the optimal value using the renowned Arroyo Crossing Method. This includes interpreting the results for the solved problem and similar problems that can be modeled using transportation model constraints.

A key component of this course is practical application. We'll utilize Solver in Excel for a more immediate solution to these models, streamlining the process of finding both initial solutions and calculating the optimal solution through direct modeling.

Finally, we'll address cases where the Arroyo Crossing Method isn't suitable for manual solution, demonstrating the power of Solver-Excel to overcome these limitations. This will include a practical example of a non-optimizable problem solved using Excel's Solver.
