What are the similarities between assignment model and transportation model?

Similarities. Both are special types of linear programming problems. Both have an objective function, structural constraints, and non-negativity constraints. And the relationship between variables and constraints is linear.

What are the similarities between assignment problem and transportation problem?

Solution

Transportation Problem	Assignment Problem
3. If total demand and total supply are not equal then the problem is said to be unbalanced.	3. If the number of rows is not equal to the number of columns then problems are unbalanced.

What are the differences between transportation and assignment problems?

What is the difference between transportation and transshipment problem?

Transshipment is like the child of the transportation but in transshipment we have some areas (like warehouses) which the goods from supply points were shipped to these points which are in the middle of the demand and supply points and then they were shipped from these points to the demand points.

What is the difference between transportation model and transshipment model?

Succinctly, the transshipment model is an extension of the classical transportation model where an item available at point i is shipped to demand point j through one or more intermediate points. The transshipment model helps the management of a company in deciding the optimal number and location of its warehouses.
