Practical Transport Optimization Method and Concept in Pharmaceutical Industry

The application of computer skills and technologies in modern business is essential in modern society, therefore different methods and algorithms are used for the business optimization. This paper primarily focuses on solving the transportation problem of the linear programming for the purpose of the transport optimization, which ultimately leads to the competitive advantage for any institution which performs any type of transport as a part of its business. Therefore, specially implemented Java program for the purposes of pharmaceutical institutions will be presented. The need to optimize the product transport from the producer to the consumer is of a great importance for any company, including pharmaceutical one. The aim for solving the transportation problem is the application of algorithms over real data from the appropriate database of the merchandise management in order to optimize the transport of medicines and other pharmaceutical products from the factory to pharmacies or other institutions.
