3. Distance
After introducing distributors and retailers, the next part will be the distance
from the distributor to the place of sale. For an overview, we will call 4
distributors and 4 retailers A and B respectively in order from 1 to 4. From there
will be a distance table below

Table 1: Table about distance

4. Price
From the distance table above, this table shows the cost per kilometer to
transport 3 Mien Noodles from the factory to distribution points, the
transportation cost is 15,000 VND/km. Here is the result

 Table 2: Table about price from distance

5. Math Model
With the distance and price below, we have objective function toward to min:
A = (42;60;108;24)
B = (54;48;42;90)
(1 unit of A and B calculated by thousand)

C=

With Total of A = Total of B

Math model:
F(x) = 15x11 + 41x12 + 54x13 + 18x14 + 126x21 + 77x22 + 120x23 + 161x24 +
38x31 + 114x32 + 36x33 + 60x34 + 228x41 + 164x42 + 168x43 + 165x44 → min

x11 + x12 + x13 + x14 = 42

x21 + x22 + x23 + x24 = 60
x31 + x32 + x33 + x34 = 108
x41 + x42 + x43 + x44 = 24
x11 + x21 + x31 + x41 = 54
x12 + x22 + x32 + x42 = 48
x13 + x23 + x33 + x43 = 42
x14 + x24 + x34 + x44 = 90

Notation:
Xij >= 0 with i = 1;4 and j = 1;4
The objection function has prohibited routes: A2 → B2
The objection function has no inventory: A4

6. Solve by Excel
From the math model and adding prohibited routes and no inventory into
the function, here is the table contain data of function

Table 3: Table of data

* Note: N/A represents an unknown cell because of the prohibited routes and no
inventory

Table 4: Table of changing data

And there are 2 cell to show the objective function results by using Sumproduct

6
By using Solver function in Excel and entering objective cell, constraints cells

Results:

After calculate the data by Solver function in Excel, the result of minimize
Objective function is 7296
