Least-cost-per-lane solution

A least-cost-per-lane solution ignores the network structure and chooses the minimum- cost warehouse to supply each customer zone, i.e., each customer zone gets delivery from the closest warehouse.

For the network shown in Figure 2.5, the corresponding decisions regarding how much each plant produces, the quantities shipped to each warehouse, and the quantities shipped by each warehouse to customer zones are shown in the Figure 2.6.
