Abstract

The present paper analyses a stochastic linear transshipment problem with uncertain demands and some prohibited routes. The objective is to maximize the net expected revenue, i.e. the total expected revenue minus the transportation and transshipment costs. The stochastic transshipment problem is reduced to an equivalent deterministic transportation problem for which a solution algorithm is developed and numerically illustrated.
