Abstract: A multi-objective transportation problem involving some multi-choice parameters is considered in this paper. Some of the demand parameters of the problem assumed as multi-choice type. Due to the presence of multi-choice parameters and conflicting objective functions can not be solved directly. In order to solve the problem with such type of problem, at first interpolating polynomials are formulated for the multi-choice parameters of demand the constraints. After establishing interpolating polynomials of the multi-choice parameters a multi-objective transportation problem is formulated. The problem is treated as a multi-objective nonlinear programming problem due to involvement of interpolating polynomial. Finally, fuzzy programming is applied to find a compromise solution. The solution procedure is supported by a numerical example.
