Zelibe Ugwuanyi And Different Standard Deviation Algorithm

By: Iyas Yustira, Dena Suprianto

Zelibe Ugwuanyi (ZU) and Different Standard Deviation (DFSD) is a new solution to solve the transportation problem. ZU method was introduced by Zelibe and Ugwuanyi (in 2019) to overcome the two stage process of standard solution which is tiring and time wasting becomes a one stage process. While, DFSD method was introduced by Ravi, Dickson, Akila and Sathya also in 2019. The algorithm is a unique way to reach the optimal solution without or with degeneracy conditions and directly find the optimal solution with minimum number of iterations.

We successfully created the algorithm of ZU and DFSD methods into python. Using these codes we can calculate and find the optimal solution of the transportation problem based on both methods effectively. It can simplify the procedure to reduce time and error of manual calculating, especially if we face a complex system that can not be solved by conventional methods.

How To Run The Code

1. Run the code from your terminal, command prompt, or IDE that you prefered.
2. Type the input name in the command line shell. Make sure your input file located in data directory and the code just accept file on excel format (*.xlsx).
3. While the code is running, wait until the process stops and shows the result.
