A New Method for Finding an Optimal Solution for Transportation Problems

In this paper a new method named ASM-Method is proposed for finding an optimal solution for a wide range of transportation problems, directly. A numerical illustration is established and the optimality of the result yielded by this method is also checked. The most attractive feature of this method is that it requires very simple arithmetical and logical calculation, that's why it is very easy even for layman to understand and use. This method will be very lucrative for those decision makers who are dealing with logistics and supply chain related issues. Because of the simplicity of this method one can easily adopt it among the existing methods.
