The transportation model is a special class of the linear programming problem. It deals with the situation in which commodity is shipped from sources to destinations. The objective is to minimize the total shipping cost while satisfying both the supply limit and the demand requirements. In this paper, a new method named ASM-method for finding an optimal solution for a transportation problem. The most attractive feature of this method is that it requires very simple arithmetical and logical calculation. So it is very easy to understand and use.
