Abstract

To solve fully fuzzy interval integer transportation problems, a new approach, known as the fuzzy bounded separation method, is proposed. This approach is based on the maximum modulus zero suffix method. The given problem is split into two fuzzy transportation problems, the fuzzy upper bounded interval transportation problem (FUBITP) and fuzzy lower bounded interval transportation problem (FLBITP), and the maximum modulus zero suffix approach is used to get the best solution. Without using any ranking approaches, the suggested strategy applies to a very similar situation. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the solution process. When treating different types of logistic problems with fully fuzzy integer interval problems, decision makers may find the fuzzy bounded separation method to be extremely useful. This method follows a methodical process and is simple to use and comprehend.
