In this paper, a stochastic solid transportation problem (SSTP) is constructed where the demand of the item at the destinations are randomly distributed. Such SSTP is formulated with profit maximization form containing selling revenue, transportation cost and holding/shortage cost of the item. The proposed SSTP is framed as a nonlinear transportation problem which is optimized through Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions of the Lagrangian function. The primary model is bifurcated into three different models for continuous and discrete demand patterns. The concavity of the objective functions is also presented here very carefully. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to stabilize the models.

An innovative, real-life solid transportation problem is explained in a non-linear form. As in real life, the total transportation cost depends on the procurement process or type of the items and the distance of transportation. Besides, an impurity constraint is considered here. The proposed model is formed with fuzzy imprecise nature. Such an interesting model is optimised through two different fuzzy programming techniques and fractional programming methods, using LINGO-14.0 tools followed by the generalized gradient method. Finally, the model is discussed concerning these two different methods.

Abstract Multi-objective Solid Transportation Problem (MSTP) is known as a special class of vector-minimization (or maximization) problems and has three parameters: source, destination, and conveyance. The objectives such as transportation cost, transportation time, transportation safety level, and objectives in terms of environmental and social issues are generally in conflict with each other. In this paper, we present a fuzzy approach to bring these conflicting objectives together as high as possible. Instead of using the linear membership function, which is frequently used in the literature for ease of use, we use the hyperbolic membership function in our approach. Also, while most of the papers in the literature deal with the standard equality constrained form of MSTP, the mixed constrained form is addressed in this paper. Finally, a numerical example from the literature is used to illustrate the construction of the hyperbolic membership function and how well it represents the objective functions’ degree of satisfaction.

For twenty decades, there is a visible ever forward advancement in the technology of mobility, vehicles and transportation system in general. However, there is no "cure-all" remedy ideal enough to solve all life problems but mathematics has proven that if the problem can be determined, it is most likely solvable. New methods and applications will keep coming to making sure that life problems will be solved faster and easier. This study is to adopt a mathematical transportation problem in the Coca-Cola company aiming to help the logistics department manager of the Asejire and Ikeja plant to decide on how to distribute demand by the customers and at the same time, minimize the cost of transportation. Here, different algorithms are used and compared to generate an optimal solution, namely; North West Corner Method (NWC), Least Cost Method (LCM) and Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM). The transportation model type in this work is the Linear Programming as the problems are represented in tables and results are compared with the result obtained on Maple 18 software. The study shows various ways in which the initial basic feasible solutions to the problem can be obtained where the best method that saves the highest percentage of transportation cost with for this problem is the NWC. The NWC produces the optimal transportation cost which is 517,040 units.
