    Bhanu Duggal
    This document describes how to use Excel to solve a transportation problem. It provides an example with 3 factories and 4 warehouses, showing the supply from each factory and demand at each warehouse initially. It then describes using the Excel Solver tool to determine the optimal transportation flows from factories to warehouses to minimize costs, showing the resulting flows and total minimum cost of $460.
