A Method for the Solution of Transportation Problems with Tall Matrices A method is presented for the solution of the transportation problem having a cost matrix with few columns. The computer implementation of this method shows it to be very fast and efficient. Application are indicted for the personnel classification problem as well as the classical transportation problem. An example is worked out in detail. CACM April, 1967 Dwyer, P. S. Galler, B. A. CA670405 JB February 28, 1978 11:25 AM 1610 5 1610 1610 5 1610 1610 5 1610
