Abstract- Transportation and logistics management plays an important role in supply chain operations. Traditional methods of shipping products from factories to warehouses may lead to higher transportation cost and inefficient resource allocation. In this study, an optimization system using the Transportation Model is proposed to minimize transportation cost and improve logistics efficiency .The solution uses techniques such as North-West CornerMethod, Least Cost Method, Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM) and MODI Method for optimal product allocation and better decision making .This paper presents a system for optimization in shipping products from factories to warehouses using the Transportation Model. The primary goal of this work is to improve accuracy and efficiency in transportation planning .Keywords-Transportation  Model,  Logistics Management, Supply Chain, Optimization, Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM), MODI Method, Transportation Cost, Product Allocation, Operations Research, Warehouse Distribution
