TLDR
This paper provides a survey of the application of fuzzy set theory in production management research, and identifies selected bibliographies on fuzzy sets and applications.Abstract:
Fuzzy set theory has been used to model systems that are hard to define precisely. As a methodology, fuzzy set theory incorporates imprecision and subjectivity into the model formulation and solution process. Fuzzy set theory represents an attractive tool to aid research in production management when the dynamics of the production environment limit the specification of model objectives, constraints and the precise measurement of model parameters. This paper provides a survey of the application of fuzzy set theory in production management research. The literature review that we compiled consists of 73 journal articles and nine books. A classification scheme for fuzzy applications in production management research is defined. We also identify selected bibliographies on fuzzy sets and applications.read more

Two-echelon production-inventory system with fuzzy production rate and promotional effort dependent demand
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-echelon production-inventory model for a non-repairable product where the system consists of a single manufacturer and a single retailer is considered and an analytical method is employed to achieve the optimal solutions so that the total costs of both manufacturer and retailer are minimized.

A fuzzy inventory model considering imperfect quality items with receiving reparative batch and order overlapping
TL;DR: This paper presents an inventory model for imperfect quality items with receiving a reparative batch and order overlapping in a fuzzy environment by employing triangular fuzzy numbers and concludes that the model approximation of a profit function and optimal policy is satisfactory.

Push-Kanban – a kanban-based production control concept for job shops
TL;DR: The Push-Kanban production control concept as discussed by the authors combines robust push scheduling along with a kanban-driven, decentralised inventory control mechanism to create a holistic control approach, integrating all production control tasks.
