ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose another methodology for the arrangement of
fuzzy transportation problem under a fuzzy

I. INTRODUCTION
In our daily life situations, various decision
problems such as fixing the cost of goods, profit for sellers,
making decisions for real-life multi-objective functions, etc.
are seeking a solution by the transportation problem. In
real-life problems, Zadeh (9) and (10) had introduced the
uncertainty theory, which is very useful for copying a large
number of data.
A new method of solving a fuzzy transportation problem
basedon the assumption that the decision
uncertain about transportation cost was introduced by
AmarpeetKaur (1). In 1941, Hitchcock (2) initiated the
fundamental transportation problem; S. Sathya Geetha, K.
Selvakumari (4) Proposed A New Method for Solving Fuzzy
Transportation Problem Using Pentagonal Fuzzy numbers
In 1976 Jain (3) had introduced a new method of ranking
fuzzy numbers. Still, the researchers recently focus on a lot
of different methods that make a betterment of
Transportation Problem.
In this paper, we propose MAX-MIN method with Range
technique, where the objective is to maximize the profit by
converting the maximization problem into a minimization
problem for a balanced transportation problem. This paper
is written as follows, Introduction to the concepts were
given in section 1.Some basic concepts in section 2,
algorithm is proposed in section 3, A numerical example is
illustrated in section 4,finally conclusion in section 5

Range Technique:
The range is defined as the difference between the
maximum value and minimum value.
Range = Maximum amount – Minimum amount.
III. MAX-MIN ALGORITHM
Step (1)
Construct the transportation table we examine whether
total demand equals total supply then go to step 2
Step (2)
By using range technique, we convert the fuzzy cost can be
converted into crisp values to the given transportation
problem
Step (3)
For the row-wise difference between maximum and
minimum of each row, and it is divided by the number of
columns of the cost matrix.
Step (4)
For the column-wise difference between maximum and
minimum of each column, and it is divided by the number
of rows of the cost matrix.
Step (5)
We find the maximum of the resultant values and find the
corresponding minimum cost value and do the allocation of
that particular cell of the given matrix. Suppose we have
more than one maximum consequent value. We can select
anyone.
Step (6)
Repeated procedures 1 to 5 until all the allocations are
completed.
IV. NUMERICAL EXAMPLE
Consider the Balanced fuzzy transportation problem Product is produced by three warehouses Warehouse1,
Warehouse2,Warehouse3.Production capacity of the Three Warehouse are 12,10 and 32 units, respectively. The product is
supplied to Four stores Store1, Store2, Store3, and Store 4 the requirements of Demands, which are 10,13,16 and 15
respectively. Here Unit costs of fuzzy transportation are represented as fuzzy heptagonal numbers are given below. Find
the fuzzy transportation plan such that the total production and transportation cost is minimum.

COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD
The comparison of the proposed method with the existing process is tabulated below, in which it is clearly shown that the
proposed method provides the optimal results.
Applying North West Corner method, Table corresponding to initial basic feasible solution is = 557
Applying LCM method, Table corresponding to initial basic feasible solution is = 549
Applying VAM method, Table corresponding to initial basic feasible solution is = 549
Applying MAX-MIN method, Table corresponding to Optimal solution is = 519

V. CONCLUSION:
In this paper, fuzzy transportation problem has been
transformed into crisp transportation problem by using
range technique, we used North -West corner method,
Least cost method, Vogel’s Approximation method to solve
fuzzy transportation problem to get the optimal solution.
From these three methods Least cost method, Vogel’s
Approximation method gives minimum transportation
cost compared to North-West corner method.
MAX-MIN method provides a better optimal solution with
less time for transportation problem .This method easy to
understand and to apply for finding a fuzzy optimal
solution to fuzzy transportation problems occurring in
real life situations. So it will be helpful for decision makers
who are dealing with the problem the example of Fuzzy
Transportation Problem of Heptagonal numbers. It is
concluded that Heptagonal Fuzzy Transportation method
proves to be minimum cost of Transportation by using
MAX-MIN Method.
