Fuzzy Transportation Problem in Octadecagonal Fuzzy Number

The transportation problem is one of the special type and the applications of linear
programming problems. The usual transportation problem is unspecified that the decision maker is sure
about the accurate values of transportation cost, supply and demand of the product. In some situations
decision maker is not in the position to specify the objective precisely but rather than which can be
specified in fuzzy concepts. We study fuzzy transportation problem (FTM) using Octadecagonal fuzzy
number and its membership function. We have defined the ranking to the Octadecagonal fuzzy numbers
to convert the fuzzy valued transportation to crisp valued transportation problem. To illustrate these
approaches, a real life problem has been solved using the Least Cost Method.
