Abstract
Uncertainty and variability of some parameters, e.g. supply and demand, in many practical transportation problems often lead to difficulties in implementations. Hence, an inexact transportation problem is formulated, in which those parameters are represented by value intervals. It is shown that such a problem may be equated with an auxiliary conventional transportation problem of higher dimension. An application to the shipment of flat glass from factories to regional wholesales is presented.
