Abstract

The present paper analyses a transshipment problem whose objective function is fractional where the demand considered is uncertain. The objective here is to maximize the net expected revenue per unit transportation cost, i.e., the total expected revenue minus the transportation and transshipments cost. The stochastic transshipment problem is converted to an equivalent deterministic transportation problem. An algorithm is developed for the deterministic transportation problem and is numerically illustrated.
