SOLVING A TWO-PHASE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM – TRANSSHIPMENT MODEL WITH THE APPLICATION OF LINGO SOFTWARE.

Transportation, as a logistical subsystem, is the most cost-significant part of logistics. The costs arising from transportation are the highest incurred expenses within the logistics system. Considering the limited possibilities for reducing transportation costs, it is crucial for enterprises to find new ways to lower these costs, thereby increasing their profit. This paper addresses the solution to a two-phase transportation problem – a transshipment model with the application of computers, aiming to determine an optimal transportation plan for goods and minimize transportation costs both within a single enterprise and across the entire supply chain.
