Abstract
In this thesis we focus on a decision model for a real world problem. The problem reveal itself as a transshipment problem where the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Kumasi, transports its products from source to destinations through intermediate points as a system consisting of multiple retail locations with transshipment operations among the retailers. The study address the problem as a transportation problem and seeks find an efficient way to minimize the total transportation cost using the Dual Matrix Approach. Manual computations were also used to obtain the optimal solution.
