TL;DR: This paper reviews some of the existing literature of production planning under uncertainty and provides a starting point about uncertainty modelling in production planning problems aimed at production management researchers.

TL;DR: This paper shows one of the possible real applications where Operations Research can help not only to get economic and productive benefits but also certain social aims, and proposes the use of a Branch and Bound-based heuristic for large problems.

TL;DR: It is revealed how the traditional division of work in single tasks, typical in assembly lines, becomes a perfect tool for making certain worker disabilities invisible, providing new jobs for disabled people; always taking into account certain special constraints that are analysed.

TL;DR: A new fuzzy mathematical programming model for production planning under uncertainty in an industrial environment that considers fuzzy constraints related to the total costs, the market demand and the available capacity and fuzzy coefficients for the costs due to the backlog of demand and for the required capacity.

TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of products grouping in the tile industry by identifying a set of families integrated by products with common features, to help Production Managers to minimize changeover time, and to further reduce production times.
