customer of Bavarian Wood is solvent and willing to pay a very high price for a high quality and durable product. The company faces the logistical challenge of organising the transport of wood as a production raw material from various import warehouses on the North Sea coast (Rotterdam i = 1, Wilhelmshaven i = 2, Bremerhaven i = 3, Hamburg i = 1) to the three production sites located in the distant hinterland (Munich j = 1, Salzburg j = 2, Prague j = 3). Since the Bavarian Wood does not use its own vehicles for the transport, it aims to or- ganise the allocation of import warehouses to production sites in such a way that the freight charges to be paid to contracted transport service providers are minimised in total. In the following table the stock of the import warehouses a, the demand of the pro- duction sites d; as well as the transportation costs ; between them are listed: from/to | 1 2 3|a₁ 1 THE 40 39 40 30 35 36 31 15 2 3 33 43 42 20 37 35 38 35 4 d; 40 25 35 | (a) Use the Matrix Minimum Method to calculate a feasible initial solution.

A new employee, who studied Transporta- tion Economics in Dresden University of Technology, is instructed to do this job. He collected the following data: Ten customers (N = {1,...,10), indices: i, j) are to be supplied by the production facility in Salzburg (i = 0); for this purpose five identical vehicles (K) with a capacity (CAP) of 40 units (per vehicle) are available. The demands a; of the customers are given as follows: Node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Demanda 0 5 10 15 5 15 10 10 5 10 15 The symmetric transportation cost matrix cj is given as well: 2 Cij 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 002354263895 1 2075 X 8 346 3 4 3706493587 7 5560884359 4 4 4 X 480 56 57 5 2 28985 09 4 4 3 9 6 3 3 4 6 90 8 2 6 7 345 354802 6 8 7 8 8 685 742 20 3 3 9 9 3 79 5 3 6 6 3 0 8 10 5 4 7 4 297 8 3 8 0 اب اسلم لماما 3 5 6 IL/n(c) The transportation cost value cu (ca, respectively) is missing.
