Abstract: The study proposes a novel technique namely, divided-united method which is framed based on the zero point method in order to optimise the fully interval integer two-stage transportation problem (FIITSTP). The proposed method offers more than one optimal solution to fully interval integer two-stage transportation problems. The optimal values of decision variables and the objective function of the fully interval integer two-stage transportation problems provided by the proposed method are interval integers. A numerical example is illustrated for a better understanding of the solution procedure of the proposed method. Since the proposed method offers more than one optimal solution, therefore it is highly helpful for the decision-makers when they are handling logistic models of real life situations involving interval integer parameters. Further, this method is likely to determine the perfect and effective optimal solution for fully interval integer transportation problems in a simple manner.
