In this paper, we approached a Zero Suffix method to study the optimal solution of the Multi-Objective Bulk Transportation Problem (MOBTP) involving trade-off cost against time. This is a very basic alternative approach for evaluating all effective pairs of cost-time transactions. This method is explained by step by step algorithm which is illustrated through a numerical example. The proposed method unifies the existing methods to get all exhaustive solution pairs. A comparative analysis is also present between previous methods and the proposed method.
