Abstract :
A cost-time trade-off bulk transportation problem (BTP) with the objectives to minimize the total cost and duration of the bulk transportation without according priorities to them is considered. The entire requirement of each destination is to be met from a single source only; however a source can supply to any number of destinations subject to the availability of the commodity at it. The Extremum Difference Method (EDM) is applied to obtain the set of Pareto optimal solutions of this problem. This work provides an alternate procedure to obtain the solutions obtained by Prakash et al. [9].
