Proposed Solution in Simple Terms


How It Works:
• Visualize warehouses and delivery routes as a network of points and paths.
• Each path has a cost (for transporting packages) and a limit (how much it can carry).
Goal:
• Send K packages from the central warehouse (Warehouse 1) to other locations at the lowest possible cost.
How This Solves the ProblemCost Savings:
• Finds the cheapest delivery plan, helping to lower overall transportation expenses.
What Makes This Solution UniqueSmart Resource Use:
• Balances cost and capacity to create an efficient delivery strategy.
Clear & Scalable:
• Can be easily adapted for different network sizes and delivery needs.
Real-World Practicality:
• Designed to address real logistics challenges, providing an effective path to cost control.
