This work includes the finding of optimal approximate solution to a special type of optimization problem called a fuzzy transportation problem using pentagonal fuzzy numbers. The values of the cost, supply, and demand for fuzzy transportation problems are taken as pentagonal fuzzy numbers (1-6). The pentagonal fuzzy numbers are converted into crisp values using a novel suggested ranking function. By comparing this with the conventional ranking methods, we can achieve better results with the aid of the proposed new ranking method. Other conventional methods are then applied to calculate the solution of given problem and compare the optimum solution results (5-11).
