This article proposes a method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy solid transportation problems (IFSTPs) in which only the transportation costs are represented in terms of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). The remaining parameters, namely: supply, demand and conveyance capacity, are all considered into crisp numbers. This type of STP is called a type-2 IFSTP. When solving the real life solid transportation problems (STPs) those tend to face the uncertainty state as well as hesitation due to many uncontrollable factors. To deal with uncertainty and hesitation many authors have suggested the intuitionistic fuzzy representation for the data. In this article, the author tried to categorise the STPs under the uncertain environment. He formulates the intuitionistic fuzzy STPs and utilizes the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) to deal with uncertainty and hesitation. The PSK (P.Senthil Kumar) method for finding an intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution for fully intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem (FIFTP) is extended to solve the type-2 IFSTP and the optimal objective value of type-2 IFSTP is obtained in terms of TIFN. The main advantage of this method is that the optimal solution of type-2 IFSTP is obtained without using the basic feasible solution and the method of testing optimality. Moreover, the proposed method is computationally very simple and easy to understand. A case study is presented to illustrate the procedure of the proposed method.

When people solve real-life SAP they tend to face the uncertainty state as well as hesitation due to many uncontrollable factors. To deal with uncertainty and hesitation many authors have suggested the intuitionistic fuzzy representation for the data. In this article, the author tried to categorise the SAP under uncertain environment. He formulates the IFSAP and utilizes the TIFN to deal with uncertainty and hesitation. The SAP has uncertainty and hesitation in cost/time/profit/production is known as FIFSAP. The PSK (P. Senthil Kumar) method for finding an optimal solution for FIFAP is extended to solve the FIFSAP and the optimal objective value of FIFSAP is obtained in terms of TIFN. The main advantage of this method is that the optimal solution/assignment of FIFSAP is obtained without using the Hungarian method and intuitionistic fuzzy reduction method. Moreover, the proposed method is computationally very simple and easy to understand. The numerical example is presented to demonstrate computing procedure. The results affirm efficiency of the proposed method.

Fuzzy Transportation Problem

In real-life decisions, usually we happen to suffer through different states of uncertainties. In order to counter these uncertainties, in this paper, the author formulated a transportation problem in which costs are triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, supplies and demands are crisp numbers. In this paper, a simple method for solving type-2 intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem (type-2 IFTP) is proposed and optimal solution is obtained without using intuitionistic fuzzy modified distribution method and intuitionistic fuzzy zero point method. So, the proposed method gives the optimal solution directly. The solution procedure is illustrated with the help of three real life numerical examples. Defect of existing results proposed by Singh and Yadav (2016a) is discussed. Validity of Pandian's (2014) method is reviewed. Finally, the comparative study, results and discussion are given.

In this chapter, two different methodologies are proposed to find out the optimal solution to the balanced and unbalanced intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problems (UBIFTPs). In addition, the parameter of both the balanced and UBIFTPs are considered to be triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). Two new methodologies, respectively method-1 and method-2, are presented in this chapter. Proposed method-1 is based on linear programming technique, and proposed method-2 is based on modified distribution method. Both the methodologies are used to solve the balanced and UBIFTPs. The ideas of the proposed methodologies are illustrated with the help of real-life numerical examples. The solutions obtained by the proposed methodologies are checked with some software (e.g., MATLAB, LINGO) and the computer code related to the proposed problems is also given. The unique results, comparative study, discussions, and the merits of the proposed methodologies are all given. At the end of the chapter, future work is mentioned.

There are several methods, in literature, for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy transportation problems (transportation problems in which all the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers). In this paper, the shortcomings of some existing methods are pointed out and to overcome these shortcomings, two new methods (based on fuzzy linear programming formulation and classical transportation methods) are proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of unbalanced fuzzy transportation problems by representing all the parameters as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The advantages of the proposed methods over existing methods are also discussed. To illustrate the proposed methods a fuzzy transportation problem (FTP) is solved by using the proposed methods and the obtained results are discussed. The proposed methods are easy to understand and to apply for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation problems occurring in real life situations.

To the extent of our knowledge, there is no method in fuzzy environment to solving the fully LR-intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problems (LR-IFTPs) in which all the parameters are represented by LR-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (LR-IFNs). In this paper, a novel ranking function is proposed to finding an optimal solution of fully LR-intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem by using the distance minimizer of two LR-IFNs. It is shown that the proposed ranking method for LR-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers satisfies the general axioms of ranking functions. Further, we have applied ranking approach to solve an LR-intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem in which all the parameters (supply, cost and demand) are transformed into LR-intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed method is illustrated with a numerical example to show the solution procedure and to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method by comparison with some existing ranking methods available in the literature.

This article describes how in solving real-life solid transportation problems (STPs) we often face the state of uncertainty as well as hesitation due to various uncontrollable factors. To deal with uncertainty and hesitation, many authors have suggested the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) representation for the data. In this article, the author tried to categorise the STP under uncertain environment. He formulates the intuitionistic fuzzy solid transportation problem (IFSTP) and utilizes the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) to deal with uncertainty and hesitation. The STP has uncertainty and hesitation in supply, demand, capacity of different modes of transport celled conveyance and when it has crisp cost it is known as IFSTP of type-1. From this concept, the generalized mathematical model for type-1 IFSTP is explained. To find out the optimal solution to type-1 IFSTPs, a single stage method called intuitionistic fuzzy min-zero min-cost method is presented. A real-life numerical example is presented to clarify the idea of the proposed method. Moreover, results and discussions, advantages of the proposed method, and future works are presented. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the optimal solution of type-1 IFSTP is obtained without using the basic feasible solution and the method of testing optimality.
