Transportation problems (TP) are one of the important problems in linear programming problems (LPP) that generally address the problems of transporting and distributing goods with the aim of achieving the largest profit or the lowest cost depending on the type of problem addressed. In this research study, a new technique was proposed to solve transportation problems with an objective function of the type of maximization that is used to achieve the highest possible profit. This technique was obtained by relying on a published research paper that deals with the same problem but with an objective function of the miniaturization type. The efficiency of this new technique was tested in terms of the type of results obtained when it was used to solve many transportation problems in life, and some of them were mentioned in this paper. After that, the solution results were compared using the proposed technique with the use of the three well-known classical methods which are NWCM, LCM, and VAM. Whereas, the results using the new technique were the required results that represent the optimal solution or close to the optimal solution.
