SOLVING INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM USING GM-R METHOD

Abstract

In recent years, researchers have focused on the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Transportation Problem (IFTP) due to its significant and indispensable role in the Transportation Problem (TP). An endeavour is performed in this paper to establish a new technique. This technique works with IFTP based on “Geometric Mean-Ranking(GM-R)”method. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the proposed method, we present and solve extensively discussed numerical examples. The acquired outcomes are subsequently subjected to numerical comparison with those of established methods, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed technique. This study validates the flexibility and simplicity of applying the method to real-life IFTPs for decision-makers.
