Prioritized goal programming formulation of an unbalanced transportation problem with budgetary constraints: A fuzzy approach

This paper introduces fuzziness in prioritized goal programming formulation of an unbalanced transportation problem with budgetary constraints keeping budget on the first priority. An efficient computational procedure is given for solving such model. The solution procedure is illustrated with a numerical example. We also compare our results with those obtained by Singh V.N. for different priority structures. It is observed that by adopting the solution procedure obtained by considering budget as the first priority, a better solution is obtained and average transportation cost is also kept to the minimum.
