Variants of Uncertain Transshipment Problem

Abstract

In this paper, variants of transshipment problem under uncertainty environment are investigated. A transshipment problem is a generalization of transportation problem in which each origin and destinations can ship the freights to all other origins and destinations. Since the transportation routes are generally decided by experienced experts, the parameters present in the model behave neither randomly nor fuzzily. Hence the parameters in the transshipment problem are represented as uncertain variables using the uncertainty theory. An uncertain transshipment problem with impaired and enhanced flow is considered and a solution procedure is explained to obtain the optimal solution. Illustrative examples for variants of transshipment problem are also discussed to explain the theory presented in this paper.
