The aim of Fuzzy transportation is to find the least transportation cost of some commodities through a capacitated network when the supply and demand of nodes and the capacity and cost of edges are represented as fuzzy numbers. Many previous papers [4, 5, 13, 14] have presented arithmetic operations, alpha level and simple ranking by operations. P. Pandian [7, 8] has presented some methods for ...

In this paper, a direct solution method that is based on ranking methods of fuzzy numbers and tabu search is proposed to solve fuzzy multi-objective aggregate production planning problem. The parameters of the problem are defined as triangular fuzzy numbers. During problem solution four different fuzzy ranking methods are employed/tested. One of the primary objectives of this study is to show t...

In this paper, a novel approach for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the angle measure is introduced. Several left and right spreads at each chosen levels of fuzzy numbers is used to determine center of mass points(CMPs) and then, the angels between the CMPs and the horizontal axis is calculated. The total angle is determined by averaging the computed angles and finally, the novel method is compa...

Ranking of intuitionsitic fuzzy number plays a vital role in decision making and other intuitionistic fuzzy applications. In this paper, we propose a new ranking method of intuitionistic fuzzy number based on distance measure. We first define a distance measure for interval numbers based on Lp metric and further generalize the idea for intuitionistic fuzzy number by forming interval with their ...

this paper proposes a new mathematical model for the integrated procurement-production-distribution problem of a fuzzy mixed integer linear programming (fmilp) type. considering the uncertainty in real problems, a number of parameters such as demand, capacity, and cost where their values are not available or known precisely, have been considered as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. to solve fuzzy mixe...

Abstract In this paper we have investigated a fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy quantities which are LR triangular fuzzy numbers. The given linear programming problem is rearranged according to the satisfactory level of constraints using breaking point method. By considering the constraints, the arranged problem has been investigated for all optimal solutions connected with satisf...

In this paper, we want to represent a method for ranking of two exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In this study a new Cardinality between exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. Cardinality in this method is relatively simple and easier in computation and ranks various types of exponential fuzzy numbers. For the validation the results of the proposed approach are compared with d...
