In this research paper, we introduce the Cost-Quality method an innovative approach for deriving an initial basic feasible solution for the transportation problem. Cost-quantity method is designed to maximize the transportation of goods while simultaneously minimizing the related costs, employing a strategy akin to a weighting method to attain the most effective solution. By taking into account both the volume of goods transported and the transportation expenses, Cost-quantity method endeavours to deliver an optimal or near-optimal solution to tackle transportation challenges. This research contributes to the progress of identifying initial basic feasible solutions in transportation issues, providing insights into the creation of more efficient and effective strategies for addressing real-world optimization problems. With Cost-quantity method, those solving transportation problems can experience improved solution quality and computational efficiency, resulting in optimized resource utilization and cost savings.
