Solving Interval Transportation Problems with Additional Impurity Constraints

Abstract

A new method namely, split and bound method is proposed for finding an optimal solution to fully integer interval transportation problems with additional impurity constraints which has been developed without considering the midpoint and width of the intervals and is based on floating point method [14]. The proposed method is illustrated by means of the numerical example. Further, this method is extended to fully fuzzy transportation problems with additional impurity constraints. The proposed method provides an appropriate solution to the decision makers for taking best decision when they are handling various types of logistic problems having imprecise parameters.
