Dual Simplex Method Based solution for a Fuzzy Transportation Problem

Abstract

This article focuses on solving the fuzzy transportation problem using the dual approach of the simplex. This method uses a strong ranking technique for the iterative values of the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers within the fuzzy transportation problem. Because of approach, the fuzzy transportation problem (in which cost, demand, and supply appear as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers) is transformed into a crisp valued transportation problem. LPP (Linear Programming Problem) and employed dual simplex procedure for solving. The earlier task of obtaining the optimal solution through the IBFS technique and therefore the fuzzy MODI method is reduced here and the optimal solution is obtained directly by the dual simplex procedure.
