Transportation Problem is an important aspect which has been widely studied in Operations Research domain. It has been studied to simulate different real life problems. In particular, application of this Problem in NPHard Problems has a remarkable significance. In this Paper, we present a comparative study of Transportation Problem through Probabilistic and Fuzzy Uncertainties. Fuzzy Logic is a...

System reliability assessment is one of the major acts in the operation and maintenance of every industrial and service sector, which also holds true for maritime transportation system. The complexity of the maritime transportation system is a prime obstacle in the evaluation of the operational reliability of the system; mainly due to the fact that statistical data on the important parameters a...

Modifications to Vogel’s Approximation Method for obtaining initial solutions to the unbalanced transportation problem are described by many workers. This paper presents a simple and efficient method that is better than the existing methods, easy to understand and also can give an optimal solution. The proposed method, Improved Zero Point Method (IZPM) (see [13]), is used for solving unbalanced...

Abstract This article focuses on solving the fuzzy transportation problem using dual approach of simplex. method uses a strong ranking technique for iterative values trapezoidal numbers within problem. Because approach, (in which cost, demand, and supply appear as numbers) is transformed into crisp valued LPP (Linear Programming Problem) employed simplex procedure solving. The earlier task obta...

In this paper, the fuzzy multi-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (FMDVRP-SPD) is investigated. The FMDVRP-SPD is the problem of allocating customers to several depots, so that the optimal set of routes is determined simultaneously to serve the pickup and the delivery demands of each customer within scattered depots. In the problem, both pickup and delivery dema...
