this paper addresses a new version of the exible ow line prob- lem, i.e., the budget constrained one, in order to determine the required num- ber of processors at each station along with the selection of the most eco- nomical process routes for products. since a number of parameters, such as due dates, the amount of available budgets and the cost of opting particular routes, are imprecise (fuzz...

Production planning is a key area of operations management. An important methodology for production planning is mathematical programming. Traditional mathematical programming models for production planning are deterministic, and cannot provide robust production plans in the presence of uncertainty. As such, deterministic planning models may yield unsatisfactory decisions. Stochastic programming...
