International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics (IJSTL), Vol. 17, No. 1/2, 2023

Abstract: A novel method namely, the reductive most-least method is developed to optimise the bottleneck integer transportation problem, which is different from the existing methods. It is a fairly simple approach method too. An uncertain BIT problem in which shipping times follow beta distribution is studied. The time for completion of the expected transportation for the uncertain BIT problem is determined, and statistical analysis on the transportation completion time of the considering problem is carried out. Further, an uncertain bottleneck-cost integer transportation problem with beta distributed shipping times is presented, and a new method namely, the cost-reductive most-least method is proposed to determine efficient solutions for the expected uncertain BCIT problem having beta distributed shipping times and the transportation completion time of the uncertain BCIT problem with statistical analysis.
