A Novel Approach for the fuzzy optimal solution of Fuzzy Transportation Problem

In this paper we propose a new method for the Fuzzy optimal solution to the transportation problem with Fuzzy parameters. We develop Fuzzy version of Vogels and MODI algorithms for finding Fuzzy basic feasible and fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation problems without converting them to classical transportation problems. The proposed method is easy to understand and to apply for finding Fuzzy optimal solution of Fuzzy transportation problem occurring in real world situation. To illustrate the proposed method, numerical examples are provided and the results obtained are discussed.
