Abstract

 Transportation problems often involve uncertainties in cost, supply, and demand, which 
traditional optimisation methods struggle to handle effectively. Neutrosophic numbers can handle 
such uncertainties and incomplete information. This paper introduces a new ranking function for 
solving transportation problems in a neutrosophic environment, which provides a better framework 
for addressing indeterminate, vague, and inconsistent information. By integrating neutrosophic sets 
and their arithmetic operations, this study offers a computationally efficient approach to 
transforming crisp problems into a solvable format. Numerical examples and comparative analysis 
demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ranking function.
