TLDR
It is shown that solutions obtained by fuzzy linear programming are always efficient solutions and the consequences of using different ways of combining individual objective functions in order to determine an “optimal” compromise solution are shown.About:

The investigation of cost variances: a fuzzy set theory approach*
TL;DR: In this article, a model based on fuzzy set theory is proposed and applied to an actual investigation problem faced by a manufacturing company in order to identify the causes of the variance and who is responsible for them before corrective actions are taken.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approach for solving a bi-objective personnel assignment problem
TL;DR: This paper proposes a systematic approach with a feedback mechanism in which the interdependences among positions and the differences among the selected employees are considered simultaneously and achieves the acceptable satisfaction level and requires less computation time than the brute force enumerative method.

Decision-making in a fuzzy environment
Richard Bellman,Lotfi A. Zadeh +1 more
TL;DR: A reverse-flow technique is described for the solution of a functional equation arising in connection with a decision process in which the termination time is defined implicitly by the condition that the process stops when the system under control enters a specified set of states in its state space.

Management Models and Industrial Applications of Linear Programming
TL;DR: In place of a survey or evaluation of industrial studies, two broad issues which are relevant to all such applications will be discussed, including the use of linear programming models as guides to data collection and analysis and prognosis of fruitful areas of additional research, especially those which appear to have been opened by industrial applications.

Linear programming with multiple objective functions: Step method (stem)
TL;DR: In this man-model symbiosis, phases of computation alternate with phases of decision, which allows the decision-maker to “learn” to recognize good solutions and the relative importance of the objectives.

Description and optimization of fuzzy systems
TL;DR: Fuzzy set theory is applied to fuzzy linear programming problems and it is shown how fuzzylinear programming problems can be solved without increasing the computational effort.
