Implication

This study evaluates distribution cost optimization using NWC, MODI, and Stepping Stone methods, highlighting trade-offs in efficiency and simplicity.

Key Points

The stepping stone method minimized distribution costs to 410 units after three iterations, outperforming others.
Optimization using MODI cut costs to 425 units, demonstrating greater computational efficiency compared to NWC.
NWC provided a feasible solution but resulted in a higher cost of 540 units, indicating suboptimal performance.
This study combines heuristic and iterative techniques to aid decision-makers in selecting appropriate methods for cost minimization.
