How to overcome degeneracy in transportation problem?

To overcome degeneracy in a transportation problem, one common approach is to introduce a small positive epsilon value to the supply or demand values, ensuring that all basic variables are positive. Alternatively, the Modified Distribution Method (MODI) can be used to identify and adjust the solution, allowing for a feasible solution without degeneracy. Ensuring that there are enough routes or allocations can also help in resolving any issues that arise from degeneracy.
