In this paper, a method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation model by representing all the parameters as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. To illustrate the proposed method a fuzzy transportation problem is solved by using the proposed method and the results are obtained. The proposed method is easy to understand, and to apply for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation models in real life situations. However, we propose the method of fuzzy modified distribution for finding out the optimal solution for minimizing the cost of total fuzzy transportation. The advantages of the proposed method are also discussed.

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.

The present paper attempts to study the unbalanced fuzzy transportation problem so as to minimize the transportationcost of products when supply, demand and cost of the products are represented by fuzzy numbers. In this paper, authorsuse Roubast ranking technique to transform trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to crisp numbers and propose a new algorithm tofind the fuzzy optimal solution of unbalanced fuzzy transportation problem. The proposed algorithm is more efficient thanother existing algorithms like simple VAM and is illustrated via numerical example. Also, a comparison between the resultsof the new algorithm and the result of algorithm using simple VAM is provided.

Transportation problem (TP) is a special type of linear programming problem (LPP) where the objective is to minimize the cost of distributing a product from several sources (or origins) to some destinations. This paper addresses a transportation problem in which the costs, supplies, and demands are represented as heptagonal fuzzy numbers. After converting the problem into the corresponding crisp TP using the ranking method, a goal programming (GP) approach is applied for obtaining the optimal solution. The advantage of GP for the decision-maker is easy to explain and implement in real life transportation. The stability set of the first kind corresponding to the optimal solution is determined. A numerical example is given to highlight the solution approach.

<p>In the present article, a mixed type transportation problem is considered. Most of the transportation problems in real life situation have mixed type transportation problem this type of transportation problem cannot be solved by usual methods. Here we attempt a new concept of Best Candidate Method (BCM) to obtain the optimal solution. To determine the compromise solution of balanced mixed fuzzy transportation problem and unbalanced mixed fuzzy transportation problem of trapezoidal and trivial fuzzy numbers with new BCM solution procedure has been applied. The method is illustrated by the numerical examples.</p>

There are several algorithms, in literature, for obtaining the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation problems (FTPs). To the best of the author's knowledge, in the history of mathematics, no one has been able to solve transportation problem (TP) under four different uncertain environment using single method in the past years. So, in this chapter, the author tried to categories the TP under four different environments and formulates the problem and utilizes the crisp numbers, triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs), and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs) to solve the TP. A new method, namely, PSK (P. Senthil Kumar) method for finding a fuzzy optimal solution to fuzzy transportation problem (FTP) is proposed. Practical usefulness of the PSK method over other existing methods is demonstrated with four different numerical examples. To illustrate the PSK method different types of FTP is solved by using the PSK method and the obtained results are discussed.

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.

In this paper, a new approach is introduced to solve transportation problem with type-2-fuzzy variables. In most of the real-life situations, the available data do not happen to be crisp in nature. It gives rise to the fuzzy transportation problem (FTP). This proposed approach concentrates on the problem when the vertical slices of type-2-fuzzy sets (T2FSs) are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TFNs). The original problem reduces to three different linear programming problems (LPPs) which are solved using the simplex algorithm. Then the effectiveness of this paper is discussed with numerical example. In conclusion, the significance of the paper and the scope of future study are discussed.

The cost of goods per unit transported from the source to the destination is considered to be fixed regardless of the number of units transported. But, in reality, the cost is often not fixed. Quantity discount is often allowed for large shipments. Furthermore, the transportation cost and the price break quantities are not deterministic. In this study, we introduce the concept of Value- and Ambiguity-based approach for solving the intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem with total quantity discounts and incremental quantity discounts. Here, the cost and quantity price breakpoints are represented by trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The Values and Ambiguities are defined as the degree of acceptance and rejection for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem is converted to a parametric transportation problem based on their Value indices and Ambiguity indices. Then, for different Values of the parameter, the transformed problem is reduced to the linear programming problem. Then, the linear programming problem is solved by using the classical methods. The proposed method is demonstrated with a numerical example. In conclusion, the intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem with total quantity discounts is compared with the intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem with incremental quantity discounts.
