Abstract

In general, a fuzzy set can’t handle situations of inconsistencies and inexact data, however, the Neutrosophic Set (NS) has been used to address such types of issues in all real world problems. The neutrosophic set is an extension of the fuzzy set and the intuitionistic fuzzy set, that can deal with imperfect, inconsistent, and indeterminate data in all the related problems. This article proposed a conventional neutrosophic approach using a ranking function for the transportation problem. This approach has considered a single-valued neutrosophic set for the entire transportation problem with the numerical illustration.

Single valued trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers are well-known and used in solving the transportation problem and its extension. Besides, a novel ranking function is proposed with the help of membership functions, which gives the best optimal solution. Moreover, the obtained optimal solution has been compared with recent new approaches. This research will help to get the best optimal solution for the transportation problem under uncertainty.
