On the Integer Solutions of the Generalized Transportation Problem Under Fuzzy Environment

It is shown that a fuzzy generalized transportation problem can be converted into a nonfuzzy one which can be changed to an equivalent form for which there is an immediate basic solution by making use of a particular basic solution to the dual problem. The computation involved is minimal. For problems with integer coefficients, an all integer algorithm due to Greenberg can be initialized immediately to the equivalent problem to obtain the optimal integer solution to the original problem in a finite number of steps. The method appears to be efficient.
