Abstract

This paper discusses an exact method to solve fixed charge bulk transportation problem (FCBTP). The fixed charge bulk transportation problem is a variant of the classical transportation problem in which a fixed cost is incurred in addition to the bulk transportation cost. This paper comprises of two sections. In Sect. 2, an algorithm based on lexi-search approach is proposed to solve FCBTP which gives the optimal solution in a finite number of iterations. Section 3 reports and corrects the errors which occurred in the paper entitled ‘Solving the fixed charge problem by ranking the extreme point’ by Murty (Oper. Res. 16(2): 268–279, 1968) [24]. Towards the end, some Concluding Remarks are given.
