Description
Summary:This research article puts forward a combination of two new thoughts to solve interval data based transportation problems (IBTPs). Firstly IBTP is converted to fuzzy transportation problem using trisectional approach and secondly a newly proposed ranking technique based on in-centre concept is applied for conversion to crisp number. It is supported with numerical illustrations to test the relevance of the scheme. Comparison with other existing methods confirms its significance for transportation problems having interval data. Keywords: Fuzzy transportation problem, Trisectional trapezoidal approach, Interval based data, Optimal solution
