Write short notes on: (a) Vogel's Approximation Method (VAM) (b) Dominance rule of game theory [0+2.5+2.5]

Definition: Vogel's Approximation Method is an iterative procedure for finding an initial basic feasible solution to the Transportation Problem. It is more efficient than the North-West Corner Rule as it produces solutions closer to the optimal solution. Procedure: 1. Calculate Penalties: For eac...
