Abstract

This paper focuses on sensitivity analysis of intuitionistic fuzzy solid transportation problem (IFSTP). In real-world situation, IFSTP seems to be more realistic than solid transportation problem (STP) as available information is uncertain. Due to degeneracy of IFSTP or that of STP, Type I sensitivity analysis seems to be impractical. Hence , in this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to determine the Type II sensitivity ranges to overcome this problem. A numerical example is illustrated to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm and the efficiency of recommended method over existing method.
