The basic transportation problem was originally developed by Hitchcock. In the literature several methods are proposed for solving Fuzzy transportation problem. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm called Fuzzy Russell’s method for the initial basic feasible solution to a Fuzzy transportation problem. To examine the proposed method a numerical example is solved. Fuzzy numbers may be normal...

A new algorithm namely, fuzzy zero point method is proposed for finding a fuzzy optimal solution for a fuzzy transportation problem where the transportation cost, supply and demand are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The optimal solution for the fuzzy transportation problem by the fuzzy zero point method is a trapezoidal fuzzy number. The solution procedure is illustrated with numerical example. Mat...

In this article a capacitated transportation problem is considered which is formulated as a multi objective capacitated transportation problem with mixed constraints. To determine the optimum compromise solution of multi objective capacitated transportation problem (MOCTP) with mixed constraints a Fuzzy multi objective programming approach has been applied in which we use three different forms ...

This study presents a multimodal hub location problem which has the capability to split commodities by limited-capacity hubs and transportation systems, based on the assumption that demands are stochastic for multi-commodity network flows. In the real world cases, demands are random over the planning horizon and those which are partially fulfilled, are lost. Thus, the present study handles dema...

Nowadays, organizations have to compete with different competitors in regional, national and international levels, so they have to improve their competition capabilities to survive against competitors. Undertaking activities on a global scale requires a proper distribution system which could take advantages of different transportation modes. Accordingly, the present paper addresses a location-r...

Cho, Hyejin. M.S.I.E., Purdue University, May 2016, The Casualty Transportation of Ebola Outbreak in Liberia: A Simulation Study. Major Professors: Seokcheon Lee and Yuehwern Yih. In this paper, we have solved the unique problem of casualty transportation problem under Ebola by developing dynamic policies for vehicle routing to provide practical decision support. The objective of the proposed m...

this paper proposes a new mathematical model for designing and planning postal parcels carriage and postal networks. the objective of postal network designing is to determine the location, size and connection between the postal stations in a city, province or country. in this paper, a kind of multiple locations-allocations hub problem with limited capacity in collecting, distributing and broadc...

This paper studies a general two-stage scheduling problem, in which jobs of different importance are processed by one first-stage processor and then, in the second stage, the completed jobs need to be batch delivered to various pre-specified destinations in one of a number of available transportation modes. Our objective is to minimize the sum of weighted job delivery time and total transportat...
