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

Fuzzy scheduling: Modelling flexible constraints vs. coping with incomplete knowledge
TL;DR: An overview of some fuzzy set-based approaches to scheduling is proposed,phasizing two distinct uses of fuzzy sets: representing preference profiles and modelling uncertainty distributions, and a possibility-theoretic counterpart of PERT.

Facility location selection using fuzzy topsis under group decisions
TL;DR: This work presents a fuzzy TOPSIS model under group decisions for solving the facility location selection problem, where the ratings of various alternative locations under different subjective attributes and the importance weights of all attributes are assessed in linguistic values represented by fuzzy numbers.

Material Requirement Planning with fuzzy constraints and fuzzy coefficients
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.

Part-period balancing with uncertainty: a fuzzy sets theory approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the part-period balancing lot-sizing algorithm is modified to use fuzzy data for the single-stage lot sizing problem and triangular fuzzy numbers are used to represent uncertainty in the master production schedule.

On the relevance of fuzzy sets for operations research
TL;DR: Fuzzy sets—and specially, fuzzy numbers—is a good tool for the OR analyst facing partial uncertainty and subjectivity and is able to associate with several hybrid operators, probabilistic and uncertain data.

A class of single sampling inspection plans based on possibilistic programming problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of designing the lot tolerance percent defective single sampling inspection plans is considered when the parameters are assumed fuzzy variables so that the problem becomes a possibilistic programming problem.

The use of fuzzy set theory for forecasting corporate tax revenues
Eliahu Shnaider,Abraham Kandel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system based on the fuzzy set theory for forecasting the Florida corporate income tax revenue was developed in response to several years of unsuccessful forecasts generated by the conventional econometric methods.

An Approximate Reasoning Framework for Aggregate Production Planning
TL;DR: A detailed study of the aggregate production planning problem and its comparison with a classical operations management model known as HMMS model show that the approximate reasoning framework produces a favourably robust result.
