Unbalanced FTP with Circumcenter of Centroids and Heuristic Method

Abstract

Many researchers have proposed a variety of methods to solve the Fuzzy Transportation Problems. The intention of this work is to frame a novel procedure for maximizing profit of an unbalanced transportation problem in fuzzy environment. In this work we have applied Circumcenter of Centroids ranking method to convert fuzzy quantities in to crisp quantities. Moreover Heuristic Method for unraveling the Triangular Fuzzy Transportation Problem is proposed. A numerical example is illustrated with the proposed algorithm and the result obtained through this method is compared with the existing methods like North West Corner method, Least cost method, Row Minima Method, Russell’s and Vogel’s approximation method. Finally the proposed method gives an optimum solution which is explained clearly by comparison chart.
