Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, there is no method in the literature for solving such fuzzy transportation problems in which the different cost parameters are represented by different type of LR flat fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new method is proposed for solving similar type of fuzzy transportation problems. To illustrate the proposed method and also to show the advantages of the proposed method some fuzzy transportation problems which can not be solved by using any of the existing method are solved. Also, it is shown that the fuzzy transportation problems which can be solved by the existing methods can also be solved by using the proposed method and the same results are obtained.
