In this article, finding an optimal solution is the prime requirement for the transportation problems. We compared a four different proposed mean (PAM, PHM, PGM, PQM) to find out the optimum solution of a TP. The most attractive feature of this method is that requires very simple statistical and rational calculation, that’s why it is very easy even for layman to understand and use. This method will be very beneficial for those decision makers who are dealing with logistics and supply chain related issues. A Numerical illustration is established and the optimality of the result received by this method is also verified. MSC: 90C08
