Abstract
Transportation issue is one of the significant zones of utilization of Linear
Programming Model. In this paper, transportation model is utilized to decide
an ideal answer for the transportation issue in a run of the mill world class
university utilizing Covenant University as a contextual analysis. Covenant
University is a potential world class University. The quick development of
Covenant University Campus over the most recent fourteen years affects its
transportation framework. This paper particularly takes a gander at streamlining
the time spent by the students moving from their lodgings to lecture
rooms. Google guide was utilized to figure the separation and time between
every cause and every goal. North-west corner technique, Least Cost strategy
and Vogel’s estimation technique were utilized to decide the underlying fundamental
plausible arrangement (initial feasible solution) and MODI strategy
was utilized to locate the ideal arrangement (optimal solution). The last outcome
demonstrates that the development of understudies from hostel to lecture
rooms can be streamlined if the total time spent is decreased.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematics promotes the integration of mathematics with other scientific disciplines, expanding its fields of study and promoting the development of relevant interdisciplinary subjects.
The journal mainly publishes original research papers that apply mathematical concepts, theories and methods to other subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, information science, energy, environmental science, economics, and finance. In addition, it also reports the latest developments and trends in which mathematics interacts with other disciplines. Readers include professors and students, professionals in applied mathematics, and engineers at research institutes and in industry.
Applied Mathematics - A Journal of Chinese Universities has been an English-language quarterly since 1993. The English edition, abbreviated as Series B, has different contents than this Chinese edition, Series A.
