A simplified new approach for solving fuzzy transportation problems with generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers
A new method is proposed for solving fuzzy transportation problem (FTP). It is demonstrated that once the ranking function is chosen, the FTP is converted into crisp one. The proposed approach is based on classical transportation approaches. The main contribution is the reduction of the computational complexity of the existing method. By solving two examples, it concluded that it is possible to find a same optimal solution without solving any FTP.
