Abstract :
The stepping-stone algorithm is a widely taught procedure for solving transportation problems. However, instructional computer programs for it are scarce compared to those available for the simplex method. This correspondence describes an instructional computer program, Stepstone, that presents the stepping-stone algorithm in an easily followed manner for student use, while still having options which extends its use beyond purely instructional purposes.
