This note, points out how Pandian and Natarajan’s zero point method for the crisp or
fuzzy transportation problems can be improved. This simple rule helps us to improve zero
point method [6] as Improved Zero Point Method (IZPM) for solving both Crisp and
Fuzzy transportation problems. This modification could result in an optimal solution.
Further comparative study among the new technique and the other existing transportation
algorithms are established by means of sample problems.
