Assignment problem is a well-known topic and is used very often in solving problems of engineering and management science. In this problem denotes the cost for assigning the job to the person. This cost is usually deterministic in nature. In this paper has been considered to be triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers denoted by ̃ which are more realistic and general in nature. A new ranking meth...

In every field of our real life situations, we deal with a replacement problem, when some items such as machines, medical equipment, military tank, electric bulb etc. or workers need to replace due to their decreased efficiency, failure or break down. To get a more realistic view of a replacement problem, here, we consider that the capital cost ( C ~ ), scrap value or resale value ( S ~ ), main...

In this paper we consider a global optimization approach for solving fuzzy fractional posynomial geometric programming problems. The problem of concern involves positive trapezoidal fuzzy numbers in the objective function. For obtaining an optimal solution, Dinkelbach’s algorithm which achieves the optimal solution of the optimization problem by means of solving a sequence of subproblems ...

This study has developed a production inventory model where the cycle timeis fuzzy, the existence of defective products is assumed in each batch andproduct screening is performed both in-production and after-production.Triangular fuzzy numbers serve to model uncertainties in the cycle time, anda fuzzified total inventory profit function is created by thedefuzzifica...

In conventional transportation problem (TP), supplies, demands and costs are always certain. In this paper, the author tried to categories the TP under the mixture of certain and uncertain environment and formulates the problem and utilizes the crisp numbers, triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs) to solve the TP. The existing ranking procedure of Liou and Wang is...

Abstract Increasing evaluation indexes have been involved in the network modeling, and some parameters cannot be described precisely. Fuzzy set theory becomes a promising mathematical method to characterize such uncertain parameters. This study investigates fuzzy multi-objective path optimization problem (FMOPOP), which each arc has multiple crisp weights simultaneously. are characterized by tr...

Redundancy allocation problem is one of most important problems in reliability area. This problem involves with the suitable redundancy levels under certain strategies to maximizing system reliability under some constraints. Many changes have been made on this problem to draw the problem near to real situations. Selecting the redundancy strategy, using different system configuration are some of...

The bi-objective warehouse problem in a crisp environment is often not eective in dealing with the imprecision or vagueness in the values of the problem parameters. To deal with such situations, several researchers have proposed that the parameters be represented as fuzzy numbers. We describe a new algorithm for fuzzy bi-objective warehouse problem using a ranking function followed by an applic...
