In this paper, a new method is proposed for solving fuzzy transportation problems by assuming that a decision maker is uncertain about the precise values of the transportation cost only but there is no uncertainty about the supply and demand of the product. In the proposed method, transportation costs are represented by generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. To illustrate the proposed method, a numerical example is solved. The proposed method is very easy to understand and it can be applied in real life transportation problems for the decision makers.
