Sensitivity analysis of cost coefficients of an interval transportation problem is discussed. A new solution method namely, upper-lower method is proposed to determine the ranges of costs in the interval transportation problem such that its optimal basis is invariant. The proposed method is illustrated with the help of a numerical example. Further, the upper-lower method is extended to fuzzy tr...
