Abstract

Bi-Criteria Multi-Index Bulk Transportation Problem (BCMIBTP) is the extension of single criterion multi-index bulk transportation problem. There exist works in literature, for finding cost-time solution pairs in BCMIBTP, wherein cost is given priority over time. Sometimes, transportation time is more crucial than cost. So far, no method is discussed to get efficient time-cost solution pairs in BCMIBTP, where time criterion assumes priority over cost, to the best of our knowledge. Motivated by this research gap, a method is presented to minimize time and cost simultaneously. An example is discussed to illustrate the presented method.
