Abstract: In the usual formulation of the transshipment problem it is assumed that a single decision-maker is dealing with a unified network of nodes and arcs and that supply and demand levels at each source are determined a priori. This paper develops a transshipment model in which subnetworks are controlled by a decentralized management level and supply levels at each source node are to be determined by a central manager.
