A Survey of Multi-index Transportation Problems and Its Variants with Crisp and Fuzzy Parameters

The Multi-index transportation problems are of immense use in present scenario. This paper provides a survey of the work done in the area of such problems from 1955 till date. The purpose of this survey is to provide the reader an up to date account of such problems and their current variants, many of which consider the fuzziness in objective function, constraints and/or coefficients. The survey also studies current approaches to solve such problems.
