A Fuzzy Mathematical Linear Programming for Aggregated Production Planning: A Case Study for Furniture Company

Fuzzy programming is used in situations where some of the parameters of a mathematical model are described by fuzzy variables instead of deterministic variables. In modern businesses, production planning is needed to minimize the loss of material, machine time and labor force in order to enable the business to run at an economic level. The goal of production planning is to compare effectively the production facilities and present resources with each other and to allocate resources to the related productions according the periods. In this study, we proposed a fuzzy linear programming (FLP) for aggregated production planning (APP) of a furniture company. We discussed the solution of FLP problem with the help of multi objective constrained linear programming problem. Based on the suggested production plan, it is possible to get new results by changing product numbers, types and number of planning periods.
