This paper analyzes multi-objective fixed-charge solid transportation problem with product blending in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The parameters of multi-objective fixed-charge solid transportation problem may not be defined precisely because of globalization of the market and other unmanageable factors. So, we often hesitate in prediction of market demand and other parameters connected with transporting systems in a period. Based on these facts, the parameters of the formulated model are chosen as triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number. New ranking method is used to convert intuitionistic fuzzy multi-objective fixed-charge solid transportation problem with product blending to a deterministic form. New intuitionistic fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is initiated to derive Pareto-optimal solution from the proposed model. Furthermore, we solve the formulated model using intuitionistic fuzzy programming; and a comparison is drawn between the obtained solutions extracted from the approaches. Finally, a practical (industrial) problem is incorporated to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of the proposed study. Conclusions with future research based on the paper are described at last.
