Abstract
The Multi-objective transportation problem refers to a special class o f vector-minimum linear programming problems in which the constraints are of equality type and all the objectives are non-commensurable and conflict with each other. All the methods either generate a set of non -dominated solutions or find a compromise solution. In this paper, we use a special type of non-linear (hyperbolic and exponential) membersh ip functions to solve the multi-objective transportation problem. It g ives an optimal compromise solution. The obtained result has been comp ared with the solution obtained by using a linear membership function. To illustrate the methodology a numerical example is presented.
