A Novel ( α , β ) - Cut Based Approach for Solving Intuitionistic Fuzzy Transportation Problems Using Standard Linear Programming

Abstract

In this paper a new approach to solve a transportation problem is
introduced. Instead of using traditional method for a transportation problem,
we convert a transportation problem into a Standard Linear Programming
Problem, using (α, β) – cuts in demand and supply and solve the final LPP
using any suitable method. This new approach is illustrated by a numerical
example.
