The stepping-stone method frequently achieves an optimal solution as soon as it calculates an initial feasible solution.

Stepping-Stone Method

A mathematical procedure used in transportation and logistics to find the most cost-effective way to distribute products from multiple sources to multiple destinations.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The stepping-stone method may not always achieve an optimal solution as soon as it calculates an initial feasible solution, as the method may need to iterate through multiple iterations to reach the optimal solution.
