Abstract

In this paper, we formulate a transportation problem in which supplies, demands and costs are different types of real, fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The new multiplication operations of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are employed to get the optimal solution. Mixed Intuitionistic fuzzy zero point method is proposed to find the optimal solution in terms of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed method is easy to understand and to apply for finding the intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution in a mixed intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem. The method is illustrated by a numerical example.
