the planning of production and control of inventory problem is one of most important problems that companies are face with them. some times inattention to uncertainty in these problems causes to increase of costs of inventory control systems. one of the important ways encountering to uncertainty is the widespread of fuzzy sets instead of crisp numbers because in this approach, we can determine ...

Considering various situations and characteristics of supply chain management, we regard the outsourcing provider selection as a type of fuzzy inhomogenous multiattribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with fuzzy alternatives’ comparisons and incomplete weight information. Hereby we focus on developing a new fuzzy linear programming method for solving such MAGDM problems. In this method...

There are several methods for solving fuzzy linear programming (FLP)problems. When the constraints and/or the objective function are fuzzy, the methodsproposed by Zimmermann, Verdegay, Chanas and Werners are used more often thanthe others. In the Zimmerman method (ZM) the main objective function cx is addedto the constraints as a fuzzy goal and the corresponding linear programming (LP)problem w...

In our earlier articles, we proposed two methods for solving the fully fuzzified linear fractional programming (FFLFP) problems. In this paper, we introduce a different approach of evaluating fuzzy inequalities between two triangular fuzzy numbers and solving FFLFP problems. First, using the Charnes-Cooper method, we transform the linear fractional programming problem into a linear one. Second,...

In this paper we focus on linear fuzzy programming problems. The linear fuzzy programming problems will contain fuzzy constraints with a crisp objective function, crisp constraints with a fuzzy objective function, or fuzzy constraints with a fuzzy objective function. We propose here optimizing fuzzy constraints and objectives that consist of a triplet and are much like triangular fuzzy numbers,...

A dual for linear programming problems with fuzzy parameters is introduced and it is shown that a two person zero sum matrix game with fuzzy pay-o(s is equivalent to a primal-dual pair of such fuzzy linear programming problems. Further certain di6culties with similar studies reported in the literature are discussed.

In this paper, the fuzzy linear programming formulation of fuzzy maximal flow problems are proposed and on the basis of the proposed formulation a method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy maximal flow problems. In the proposed method all the parameters are represented by triangular fuzzy numbers. By using the proposed method the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy maximal flow...

Linear bilevel programming is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. The leader is in the upper level and the follower, in the lower level. This study addresses linear bilevel multi-objective multi-follower programming (LB-MOMFP) problem, a special case of linear bilevel programming problems with one leader and multiple followers where each decision maker has sev...
