Hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving multi-objective aggregate production planning in fuzzy environment

Aggregate production planning (APP) is considered as significant for efficient production systems. APP problems are considerably important in several manufacturing concerns. In actual APP problems, input data or parameter values, including resource, demand, cost, and objective functions, may be inac...

description Aggregate production planning (APP) is considered as significant for efficient production systems. APP problems are considerably important in several manufacturing concerns. In actual APP problems, input data or parameter values, including resource, demand, cost, and objective functions, may be inaccurate. On the other hand, consideration of all parameters in an APP model makes the generation of a master production schedule deeply complicated especially in real-world APP problems, where input data or parameters are frequently imprecise (fuzzy) due to incomplete or un obtain able information and daily changes patterns of demand and manufacturers capacity (Sakalhet al., 2010). In addition, the APP problem based on the fuzzy environment becomes even more sophisticated as decision makers try to consider multi-objectives. Therefore, this study attempts to propose a novel scheme which is capable of dealing with these obstacles in APP problem. This schema takes into account uncertainty and makes a trade-off among conflicting multi-objectives at the same time. In addition, the proposed technique comprises of two main steps: first, some critical decisions about determining production rate and human resource planning (fuzzy data) are considered; next, decision about quantity and method of holding inventory and distribution of end product to customers was made.
