PREFACE
It is era of globalization. Now World becomes global village. In present scenario there is a growth in market in our country. Sometimes, we see some fluctuation in market. It is happening because there is changing in taste and choice of customers/consumers. Now a days Market is very much dependent to consumers/customers choice and taste. To understand the taste and choice of customers/consumers and take step according to customers/consumers choice is very necessary to become the market leader. These things are very common for all company. In this context comparative study of determining transportation cost by different method and choosing those method which offer least cost and maximize the profit. Management Science for Decision Making project is one of the essential parts towards the partial fulfillment of the requirement of two-year full time PGDM program. In this line we had an opportunity to undergo practical project of ULTRA TECH CEMENT . During project time, We visited to ULTRA TECH OFFICE and meet with SUNIL KUMAR YADAV and collect full information about company, his warehouses, his plant production capacity and different warehouses requirement in particular interval of time i.e. one month. Also collect the cost paid by the company to sending product from plant to warehouses. Through this study my company would get valuable information and this project will help me to have a valuable experience of real market which would be fruitful in my career.

What is Transportation:Transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare ("to carry"). Industries which have the business of providing equipment, actual transport, or goods and services used in transport of goods or people make up a large broad and important sector of most national economies, and are collectively refered to as transport industries.

The History of Transportation


3500BC Fixed wheels on carts are invented - the first wheeled vehicles in history. Other early wheeled vehicles include the chariot River boats are invented - ships with oars Horses are domesticated and used for transportation The wheelbarrow is invented. Iron horseshoes improve transportation by horse Leonardo da Vinci first to seriously theorize about flying machines - with over 100 drawings that illustrated his theories on fligh Cornelis Drebbel invented the first submarine - an human oared submersible Blaise Pascal invents the first public bus - horse-drawn, regular route, schedule, and fare system Jacques de Vaucanson demonstrates his clockwork powered carriage First practical steamboat demonstrated by Marquis Claude Francois de Jouffroy d'Abbans - a paddle wheel steamboat First self-propelled road vehicle invented by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot The Montgolfier brothers invent the first hot air balloons Steamboat invented Modern bicycles invented Richard Trevithick invented the first steam powered locomotive (designed for roads) Isaac de Rivas makes a hydrogen gas powered vehicle - first with internal combustion power - however, very unsuccessful design

MODE OF TRANSPORTATION
Broadly speaking, transportation means can be classified as under:1. 2. 3.

Land transport Water transport Air transport

Land Transport:Sometime around the late Neolithic age, man learned how to domesticate animals. He used horse and other beasts of burden to not only help him till the soil but also for transportation purposes. However, the invention of Wheel, around 4000-3500 BC, entirely changed mans outlook towards life. Transportation became faster. Not only could man himself travel faster but also take loads of goods along with him to distant places. Thus, was also born the idea of trade and exchange. The land mark inventions that followed are as under:

Two-wheel chariot - worlds first form of wheeled transportation - invented in Sumeria, around 3500 BC. This eventually led to invention of four-wheel chariot in due course. Cart driven by a steam turbine, build by a Jesuit missionary in China 1670 AD Modern bicycles invented 1790 AD Richard Trevithick invented the first steam powered locomotive (for roads) -1801 AD

George Stephenson invented the first practical steam powered railroad locomotive 1814 AD Jean Lenoir made a gasoline engine automobile 1862 AD Invention of Internal Combustion Enginebya Frenchman named Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir 1860 AD 1867- First motorcycle invented 1885 - Karl Benz builds the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal combustion engine First experiment of electric powered trains 1895 AD Henry Ford improves the assembly line for automobile manufacturing 1908 AD

During World War II, the diesel engine came into widespread use, and steam was almost completely forgotten. Advancements have continued to be made in the time since.

Water Transport
It is interesting to note that man had developed means of traveling on water even before he had domesticated the horse. Though the origin of the dugout boat still remains one of historys great mysteries, but it does indicate that man had known how to travel on water long before other means of transport developed. This historians point may have been due to an accidental invention. Nevertheless, the addition of the boat changed the face of water transportation. At first, Simple boats evolved to include a large square of cloth mounted on a central pole. This cloth was called a sail. The sail aided in navigation and wind pressure propelled the boat. Soon this gave way to sail-propelled ships. Later, these sail-propelled ships grew bigger in size while sleeker in design. First the oars and rudders and then the deck covers were also included in the ships design. With the advent of automation in 19th century, water transportation changed forever. Ships shed their sails. Now more goods and people could be transported faster. The landmark inventions in water transportation are as under:

Cornelis Drebbel invented the first submarine in 1620 AD First practical steamboat demonstrated by Marquis Claude -1783 AD Steamboat invented 1787 AD First diesel-powered ship 1912 AD Hovercraft invented 1956 AD First nuclear powered ship launched 1958 AD

Air Transport
Mans next stride in transportation looked not to the land, or even to the seas, but to the sky. Although many people had toyed with the idea of flight, but the first sustained, controlled flight took place only in December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The inventors of this new flying machine were brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright, two bicycle makers. They invented a bicycle propelled contraption which later evolved into jet-propelled aircraft capable of world-wide mass transfer. It came to be called the aeroplane. Aeroplane made it easier for people to travel great distances in less time. The land mark inventions in air transportation are as under: Leonardo da Vinci - first to seriously theorize about flying machines - with over 100 drawings that illustrated his theories on flight 1492 AD The Montgolfier brothers invent the first hot air balloons 1783 AD The Wright Brothers invent and fly the first engine airplane 1903 AD Very first helicopter though an unsuccessful design 1907 AD

General Mathematical Model of Transportation Problem


Let there be m sources of supply, S1, S2, .,Sm having ai (i=1,2,3,4..n) unit of supply (or capacity) respectively, to be transported among n destination D1, D2,Dn with bj (j=1,2,3,4,,n) units of demand (or requirement ) respectively. Let Cij be the cost of shipping one unit of the commodity from source i to destination j for each route. If Xij represent number of units shipped per route from source i to destination j, the problem is to determine the transportation schedule so as to minimize the total transportation cost satisfying supply and demand conditions. Mathematically, the problem is general may be started as follows; Minimize (total cost) Z= Subject to the constraints And Xij 0 for all i and j For easy presentation and solution, a transportation problem data is generally presented as shown in table (1)

(Supply constrains) (Demand Constrains)

(2) (3)

Existence of Feasible Solution:A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a feasible solution to the transportation problem (1) and (4) is Total supply= Total Demand

In this problem, there are (m+n) constrains one for each source of supply and distinction and m n variables. Since all (m+n) constraints are equations, since the transportation model is always balanced ( total supply= total demand), one of these equation is extra (redundant). The extra constraints equation can derive from the other constraint equations without affecting the feasible solution. It follows that any feasible solution for a transportation problem must have exactly (m+n-1) non negative basic variables (or allocations)

Calculation of Transportation Cost


Transportation cost are calculated by three methods, they are: 1. North East Corner Method 2. Lowest Cost Entry Method 3. Vogels Approximation Method (VAM)

1. North-West corner method (NWCM)


The North West corner rule is a method for computing a basic feasible solution of a transportation problem where the basic variables are selected from the North West corner (i.e., top left corner).

Steps:1.Select the north west (upper left-hand) corner cell of the transportation table and allocate as many units as possible equal to the minimum between available supply and demand requirements, i.e., min (s1, d1). 2.Adjust the supply and demand numbers in the respective rows and columns allocation. 3. If the supply for the first row is exhausted then move down to the first cell in the second row 4.If the demand for the first cell is satisfied then move horizontally to the next cell in the second column. 5.If for any cell supply equals demand then the next allocation can be made in cell either in the next row or column. 6.Continue the procedure until the total available quantity is fully allocated to the cells as required.

Example:A Company has three production facilities F1,F2,F3 with production capacity of 250, 300, 400 per day of a product , respectively .These are to be shipped to four warehouses W1,W2,W3,W4 units per day , respectively .The transportation cost per unit between factories to warehouses are given in the table below-

1. Least Cost Method


Matrix minimum method is a method for computing a basic feasible solution of a transportation problem where the basic variables are chosen according to the unit cost of transportation.

Steps
1.Identify the box having minimum unit transportation cost (cij). 2. If there are two or more minimum costs, select the row and the column corresponding to the lower numbered row 3. If they appear in the same row, select the lower numbered column. 4. Choose the value of the corresponding xij as much as possible subject to the capacity and requirement constraints. 5.If demand is satisfied, delete the column . 6. If supply is exhausted, delete the row. 7.Repeat steps 1-6 until all restrictions are satisfied.

2. By

Vogels Approximation Method:

The Vogel approximation method is an iterative procedure for computing a basic feasible solution of the transportation problem. Steps 1.Identify the boxes having minimum and next to minimum transportation cost in each row and write the difference (penalty) along the side of the table against the Corresponding row. 2. Identify the boxes having minimum and next to minimum transportation cost in each column and write the difference (penalty) against the corresponding column 3. Identify the maximum penalty. If it is along the side of the table, make maximum allotment to the box having minimum cost of transportation in that row. If it is below the table, make maximum allotment to the box having minimum cost of transportation in that column. 4. If the penalties corresponding to two or more rows or columns are equal, select the top most row and the extreme left column

Objective of study
The main objective of transportation is Physical distribution of goods and services from several supply centers to demand centers. Delivery the goods at right time at right place. Objective of the transportation is to minimize the overall costs by increasing operational efficiency of the manufacturing process. 1) Increased efficiency 2) Improved customer service 3) Increased sales 4) Improved relationships 1.Increased efficiency To increase efficiency, a company must develop cost-effective transportation rates while reducing overhead, total inventory, and overall cost-per-order processing. You can improve your warehouse operations, including processes, layout, and flow, by working closely with your transportation provider. Establish a two-way relationship with your carrier to frequently share best practices, issues, and opportunities. 2.Improved customer service In direct marketing enterprises, fulfilment operations are in partnership with marketing and merchandising. This partnership is like a three-legged stool without all three legs the stool cannot stand. Fulfilment operations inbound and outbound transportation is key to delivering marketings promise to the customer to get the shipment delivered on time and in good condition. 3.Increased sales Several opportunities exist for improving service, and those in turn can be used to marketings advantage. Look at inbound and outb ound

freight as separate operations with separate requirements. Bundle the volumes wherever possible with your carriers, but recognize the differences between the channels. 1) Building relationships True two-way collaboration between retailer and carrier is key to the success of logistics execution. Measures of success are total cost, time in transit, and responsiveness of the carrier representative
