The objective of the fuzzy transportation problem is to determine the shipping schedule that minimizes the total fuzzy transportation cost while satisfying the fuzzy supply and the fuzzy demand limits. As the economic growth of a country depends on the increase of the capacity of transport, the study of fuzzy transportation problem is essential. In this paper, mathematical formulation, theoretical background and the procedure are proposed for fuzzy transportation problem using zero point maximum allocation method. The procedure presented is independent of the conventional method. Numerical example is illustrated for the same. The result obtained is compared with the existing result to point out the conclusion.
