This work describes a novel fuzzy-sets-based method to solve a particular class of quadratic programming problems which have vagueness coefficients in the objective function. Quadratic programming problems are of utmost importance in an increasing variety of practical fields. In addition, as the ambiguity and vagueness are natural and ever-present in real-life situations requiring solutions, it...

Fuzzy Logic Controllers are a specific model of Fuzzy Rule Based Systems suitable for engineering applications for which classic control strategies do not achieve good results or for when it is too difficult to obtain a mathematical model. Recently, the International Electrotechnical Commission has published a standard for fuzzy control programming in part 7 of the IEC 61131 norm in order to of...

This paper considers the hierarchical production planning (HPP) concept to solve a production planning problem in the process industry in a fuzzy environment. The adopted fuzzy HPP consists of two levels in which a fuzzy aggregate production planning (FAPP) model is developed in the first level, and then a fuzzy disaggregate production planning (FDPP) model is developed at the second level. The...

In this paper, we introduce a new mathematical programming approach to estimate the parameters of fuzzy linear regression with crisp/fuzzy input and fuzzy output. The advantage of this approach is, both of dependent and independent variables are influenced on the objective function. Therefore, this model rectifies some problems about outliers. Also, in this paper we use possibility function in ...

Design of assembly line is done in order to more coordinate a collection of some consecutive work stations for the aim of obtaining more productivity from the work stations and workers. The stations are arranged in a way to have a continuous and constant material flow. In this paper a multi-objective formulation for assembly line balancing is introduced. As a solution approach a two-step approa...

This paper studies reliability optimization of a series-parallel system with fuzzy random lifetimes. A fuzzy random reliability model is developed to maximize the system reliability. Since the reliability function consists of fuzzy random parameters, classical mathematical programming methods is not applicable to the reliability model. Therefore, in order to solve the model, a fuzzy random simu...

Optimization problems in the fuzzy environment are widely studied literature. We restrict our attention to mathematical programming with coefficients and/or decision variables expressed by numbers. Since review of recent literature on shows that extension principle is present through arithmetic but much less involved foundations solution concepts, we believe efforts rehabilitate idea following ...

using the mathematic techniques such as fuzzy approach has useful outcomes for production planning in different sources. in this paper lgp1 was used to model the objectives such as: avoidance of shortage or surplus of demand, access to maximum of income, using the normal capacity of production and organizing the inventory of warehouse, within the framework of goal constraints like balancing be...
