Math Problem Statement

The user provided a transportation problem matrix where they are asked to calculate costs using the Northwest Corner Rule (NWC) and to explore optimization possibilities.

Solution

The image you've uploaded contains a transportation problem that needs to be solved, likely using a method like the "Northwest Corner Rule" (NWC), "Stepping Stone" or "MODI" for optimization. Here's a breakdown of the information presented:

Matrix Information:

  • Rows (Pabrik): These represent three factories (Pabrik 1, 2, 3).
  • Columns (Pasar): These represent three markets (Pasar A, B, C) plus a "Penawaran" column (Supply).
  • Demand (Permintaan): Listed below the matrix for the three markets.

Given Data:

  • The table shows costs of shipping from each factory (Pabrik) to each market (Pasar). The costs are:

    • From Pabrik 1: Pasar A: 20, Pasar B: 5, Pasar C: 8
    • From Pabrik 2: Pasar A: 15, Pasar B: 20, Pasar C: 10
    • From Pabrik 3: Pasar A: 25, Pasar B: 10, Pasar C: 19
  • Supply (Penawaran) from each factory:

    • Pabrik 1: 90 units
    • Pabrik 2: 60 units
    • Pabrik 3: 50 units
  • Demand (Permintaan) from each market:

    • Pasar A: 50 units
    • Pasar B: 110 units
    • Pasar C: 40 units

Questions:

  1. Berapa biaya dari NWC (Northwest Corner Rule)?
    • We need to solve this using the Northwest Corner Rule.
  2. Apakah ada kemungkinan biaya bisa lebih murah?
    • This question asks whether there is a potential for cost reduction through optimization.
  3. Jika ya, maka berapa biaya minimal yang bersifat optimisasi?
    • If possible, what is the minimum optimized cost?

Steps:

I will first calculate the cost using the Northwest Corner Rule. Then we will assess if there's room for optimization and calculate the minimal cost if applicable.
