چکیده

This paper proposes a procedure for solving total time minimization in fuzzy transportation problem where the transportation time, source and destination parameters have been expressed as exponential fuzzy numbers by the decision maker. An algorithm is developed to obtain the optimal solution as exponential fuzzy number, which enables the decision maker to obtain more informing results and wider knowledge on the problem under consideration. A numerical example is solved to check the validity of the proposed procedure.

Cost-time Minimization in a Transportation Problem with Fuzzy Parameters: A Case Study

In real world applications the supply, the demand and the transportation cost per unit of the quantities in a transportation problem are hardly specified precisely because of the changing economic and environmental conditions. It is also important that the time required for transportation should be minimum. In this paper a method has been proposed for the minimization of transportation cost as ...
