Answer:
An automobile manufacturer having 7 assembly plants and hundreds of dealers throughout the United States can find the guaranteed optimal transportation plan (assuming linear transportation costs and known demands and capacities) by using either linear programming model or transportation model.
Explanation:
Linear programming addresses issues such as profit maximization, cost minimization or maintaining that we make the greatest use of existing resources. From an implementation perspective, linear programming is an optimization tool that permits many administrative and/or technological decisions to be interpreted.
Throughout World War II the seeds of linear programming were sown when it was necessary to quickly transfer the military supplies and staff. While the transport model discusses the principle of unchanged transferring an item from one position to another. This implies that any disruption on the way has negative effects, and so it is used to evaluate transport networks and seek the most efficient method to allocating resources.
