In this study, we consider an unbalanced fully rough interval transportation problem, where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by rough interval numbers. A method named as split and separation method has been proposed in the literature to find the optimal solution of balanced fully rough interval transportation problem. As per our knowledge, no method exists in the literature to solve an unbalanced fully rough interval transportation problem. Therefore, a new method is proposed in this study to solve such problem. Using proposed methodology, firstly the unbalanced problem is converted into a balanced one and then the optimal solution of the balanced problem is obtained. To show the applicability of the proposed methodology, a numerical example is solved. Finally, the study’s conclusions and future research directions are discussed.
