A fuzzy inventory model with unit production cost, time depended holding cost, with-out shortages under a space constraint: a parametric geometric programming approach

Abstract

In this paper, an Inventory model with unit production cost, time depended holding cost, with-out shortages is formulated and solved. We have considered a single objective structural optimization model. In most real world situation, the objective and constraint function of the decision makers are imprecise in nature. Hence the coefficients, indices, the objective function and constraint goals are imposed here in fuzzy environment. Geometric programming provides a powerful tool for solving a variety of imprecise optimization problems. Here we use nearest interval approximation method to convert a triangular fuzzy number to an interval number. In this paper, we transform this interval number to a parametric interval-valued functional form and then solve the parametric problem by geometric programming technique. Numerical example is given to illustrate the model through this Parametric Geometric-Programming method.
