Linear Solution Method for Aggregate Production Planning with Fuzzy Goals

Adaptive aggregate production planning with fuzzy goal programming approach

Aggregate production planning (APP) determines the optimal production plan for the medium term planning horizon. The purpose of the APP is effective utilization of existing capacities through facing the fluctuations in demand. Recently, fuzzy approaches have been applied for APP focusing on vague nature of cost parameters. Considering the importance of coping with customer demand in different p...

Optimal Aggregate Production Planning with Fuzzy Data

This paper investigates the optimization problem of multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) with fuzzy data. From a comprehensive viewpoint of conserving the fuzziness of input information, this paper proposes a method that can completely describe the membership function of the performance measure. The idea is based on the well-known Zadeh’s extension principle which plays an importan...

Multiproduct aggregate production planning with fuzzy demands and fuzzy capacities

Given the uncertain market demands and capacities in production environment, this paper discusses some practical approaches to modeling multiproduct aggregate production planning problems with fuzzy demands, fuzzy capacities, and financial constraints. By formulating the fuzzy demand, fuzzy equation, and fuzzy capacities, a fuzzy production-inventory balance equation for single period and a dyn...

Multi-objective aggregate production planning with fuzzy parameters

In this paper, a direct solution method that is based on ranking methods of fuzzy numbers and tabu search is proposed to solve fuzzy multi-objective aggregate production planning problem. The parameters of the problem are defined as triangular fuzzy numbers. During problem solution four different fuzzy ranking methods are employed/tested. One of the primary objectives of this study is to show t...
