    Summary: This paper presents a multi-choice stochastic transportation problem (TP) where the supply and demand parameters of the constraints follow Weibull distribution. The cost coefficients of the objective function associated with TP are multi-choice type. At first, all the stochastic constraints are transformed into deterministic constraints using stochastic programming approach. Multi-choice type cost coefficients are tractabled by introducing binary variables in the multi-choice programming. Secondly, the transformed problem is considered as a deterministic multi-choice transportation problem. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the methodology.
