Parametric linear programming for a materials requirement planning problem solution with uncertainty

Abstract

Using fuzzy set theory as a methodology for modelling and analysing decision systems is particularly interesting for researchers in industrial engineering because it allows qualitative and quantitative analysis of problems involving uncertainty and imprecision. Thus, in an effort to gain a better understanding of the use of fuzzy logic in industrial engineering, more specifically in the field of production planning, this article was aimed at providing a materials requirement planning (MRP) problem with uncertainty in the automotive industry; this was solved using fuzzy parametric linear programming.
