Abstract
Many problems appear to be very similar to the transportation problem and special methods have been constructed for their solution (Hadley III, p. 314). Fergusson and Dantzig18 have described a model for routing aircraft to maximise expected profits with uncertain customer demands. In the first stage they solve the fixed demand problem. B. W. Saunders19 (private communication) has been concerned with the allocation of products to warehouse space and the author has solved a manufacturing problem. All of these exhibit very similar characteristics. Another type of extension was produced by the author with A. J. Smith,20 which enabled the coal allocation problems of Chapter 6 to be solved explicitly.
