A New Ranking Technique of Hexagonal Fuzzy Numbers

K. Dhurai, A. Karpagam

Abstract: In this paper, we are presenting a new ranking technique with membership function for solving transportation problem, where fuzzy demand and supply are all in the form of Hexagonal fuzzy number. By defining a ranking to the Hexagonal fuzzy numbers, it is possible to compare them and using this we convert the fuzzy valued transportation problem to a crisp valued transportation problem, which then can be solved using the matrix minima method.
