Implementation of a transportation linear programming problem by the time criterion in MS Excel

The article describes the implementation of solving a non-classical transport problem by the criterion of time using the linear simplex method in the Microsoft Excel software product. The found implementation shows that the problem can have a linear solution approach, which consists in obtaining the desired transportation plan and optimizing the linear function of the function that determines the total cost over time of all transportation. This approach allows you to get the most accurate answer due to the most common calculation program used in this mode.
