Recently, a new type of transportation problems (named as dual-hesitant fuzzy transportation problem) as well as an approach to find the optimal solution of dual-hesitant fuzzy transportation problems have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, some dual-hesitant fuzzy transportation problems are considered toshow that the existing approach is inappropriate as (i) The existing approach fails to find the optimal solution of dual-hesitant fuzzy transportation problems. (ii) On applying the existing approach different optimal transportation costs are obtained corresponding to alternative optimal solutions. Also, to resolve the inappropriateness of the existing approach, a new expression (named as Mehar score function) is proposed to transform a dualhesitant fuzzy set into a real number. Furthermore, a new approach (named as Mehar approach), based upon the proposed Mehar score function, is proposed to find the optimal solution of dual-hesitant fuzzy transportation problems
