Abstract

In this study, a typical transportation problem involving intuitionistic fuzzy-type variables and parameters is focused on. The approaches proposed in the literature for such transportation problems have many shortcomings, such as the use of ranking functions and obtaining an infeasible solution with negative values for variables and objective functions in the presence of non-negative unit transportation charges. To overcome such weaknesses, a new approach without a ranking function is introduced in this paper. The proposed approach first constructs an equivalent crisp multi-objective form of the intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem and then proposes a new hybrid multi-objective solution procedure to tackle the obtained crisp multi-objective problem. The conducted computer experiments with benchmark problems from the existing studies of the literature reflect the effectiveness of the proposed solution approach of this study in terms of the quality of the results when compared to the available approaches of the literature.
