Abstract

In this paper we are study on fuzzy transportation problem for industries to reduce the transportation cost of commodity from one source to another source. In this paper we are taking transportation cost, demand and supply all are in fuzzy trapezoidal number because the fuzzy number satisfy the condition of vagueness. Here we are using the propose algorithm to obtained the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation problem with membership function. The solution procedure is illustrated with numerical example.
