Introduction

In this chapter we apply our fuzzy Monte Carlo method to determine approximate solutions to a fuzzy transportation problem. The next section presents the standard definition of the transportation model. Then in Section 23.3 we fuzzify it and apply our fuzzy Monte Carlo method to generate approximate solutions. An example is given which is to show the results of our fuzzy Monte Carlo method.
