Abstract

In this paper, a solution procedure has been given for the Multi-Objective Interval Solid Transportation Problem under stochastic environment where the cost coefficients of the objective functions, source availability, destination demand and conveyance capacities have been taken as stochastic intervals. The problem has been transformed into a classical multi-objective transportation problem where the multiple objective functions are minimized by using fuzzy programming approach. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the approach.
