The article presents a modified transport problem, which takes into account the transportation of goods from suppliers to consumers over several flights, and all goods must be delivered on time. The authors give preference to linear programming problems due to the existence of various solvers that allow one to find a solution using existing methods. In this regard, a mathematical model of the transport problem was developed as an integer linear programming problem, and a solution to the problem was proposed in the Python programming environment using the PuLP library. For clarity, a simple example is considered.
