Abstract
This research demonstrates the application of Linear programming on a transportation problem to products of Lubcon limited. Data were collected as extracts from the records of the company on the five (5) products and six (6) districts offices. Information regarding the supply capacity and demand requirements were also given. We have been able to formulate a linear programming for the transportation problem for the products of Lubcon limited. We obtained the minimum transportation cost of #183,522,300 with some cartons of products to be transported to their destinations in order to attain a minimum cost which is the goal of the company.
