From classical transportation problem to crop problems with uncertainty

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with distribution problems and discuss their restrictions, extensions and modifications including a possible application in agriculture. The Hitchcock transportation problem can be transformed to other problems using special constraints, and we show even to crop problems from the agriculture application area, but in real situations we must deal with uncertain data because the data can only be estimated. We propose an approach which is inspired by PERT known from project management area.
