A new effective solution method for fully intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem

A transportation problem in its balanced form where all parameters and variables are of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy values is considered in this study. In the literature of the field, the existing proposed approaches have many shortcomings, e.g., obtaining negative solutions for the variables and obtaining negative objective function value in existence of positive unit transportation costs. In this study, considering the existing shortcomings, a new and effective solution approach is proposed to overcome such shortcomings. The performed computational experiments prove the superiority of the proposed approach over those of the literature from the results’ quality.
