Abstract
In this paper a direct analytical method is proposed for finding an optimal solution for a wide range of transportation problems. 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 calculations. The method will be very worthwhile for those decision makers who are dealing with logistics and supply chain related issues. One can also easily adopt the proposed method among the existing methods for simplicity of the presented method.
