- Question 36 Although network models are valuable tools in decision-making, we discussed how a transportation minimization model might distort a realistic decision. How? There is no alternative that will consistently provide optimal, integer solutions. Cost data will change over time. Only the cheapest markets to get to are fully satisfied which might leave other demand locations with reduced supply. Problem data may be wrong.arrow_forwardQuestion 8.4 Super Auto Company rented a warehouse in Halifax, NS to store its engines valued at $500,000.
