Transportation Problem with Pentagonal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers Solved Using Ranking Technique and Russell’s Method

This paper presents a solution methodology for transportation problem in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment in\ud which cost are represented by pentagonal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Transportation problem is a particular\ud class of linear programming, which is associated with day to day activities in our real life. It helps in solving\ud problems on distribution and transportation of resources from one place to another. The objective is to satisfy\ud the demand at destination from the supply constraints at the minimum transportation cost possible. The problem\ud is solved using a ranking technique called Accuracy function for pentagonal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and\ud Russell’s Method.\ud An illustrative example is given to verify this approach
