2. introduction North East corner method provides a simple and systematic approach to solving transportation problems by allocating resources from a set of origins to a set of destinations while minimizing overall transportation costs. In this method the total demand should be equal to total supply which means balanced Transportation problem.

7. Advantages and Limitations

8. In conclusion, the North West Corner method provides an initial feasible solution to transportation problem by systematically allocating resources from the top left corner of the transportation matrix. While It is straight forward and easy to implement, it may not always yield optimal solution.
