<span>A master production schedule (MPS) need find a good, perhaps optimal, plan for maximize service levels while minimizing inventory and resource usage. However, these are conflicting objectives and a tradeoff to reach acceptable values must be made. Therefore, several techniques have been proposed to perform optimization on production planning problems based on, for instance, linear and non-linear programming, dynamic-lot sizing and meta-heuristics. In particular, several meta- heuristics have been successfully used to solve MPS problems such as genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). This paper proposes a memetic algorithm to solve multi-objective master production schedule (MOMPS). The proposed memetic algorithm combines the evolutionary operations of MA (such as mutation and Crossover) with local search operators (swap operator and inverse movement operator) to improve the solutions of MA and increase the diversity of the population). This algorithm has proved its efficiency in solving MOMPS problems compared with the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing. The results clearly showed the ability of the algorithm to evaluate properly how much, when and where extra capacities (overtime) are permitted so that the inventory can be lowered without influencing the level of service. </span>

Focusing on the balanced use of production capacity in the formulation of master production schedule (MPS), this paper sets up a single-product, multi-stage, multi-objective MPS model based on balanced production. Whereas the model aims to achieve multiple objectives through nonlinear integer programming, a genetic algorithm based on automatic transformation (AT-GA) was designed to solve the model. Specifically, the chromosomes were encoded as integers to satisfy the model constraints; the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was adopted to handle the four nonlinear objectives of the model, thereby obtaining the fitness function; the fuzzy logic control (FLC) was introduced to automatically adjust the crossover and mutation parameters, and balance the global and local search abilities of the GA, enhancing the computing power of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the AT-GA can effectively solve the multi-objective MPS optimization problem under balanced production.

This paper considers the hierarchical production planning (HPP) concept to solve a production planning problem in the process industry in a fuzzy environment. The adopted fuzzy HPP consists of two levels in which a fuzzy aggregate production planning (FAPP) model is developed in the first level, and then a fuzzy disaggregate production planning (FDPP) model is developed at the second level. The FAPP was reported by Omar et al. [1] and therefore, this research paper discusses the FDPP model. We formulated the disaggregate model as a fuzzy mixed-integer linear programming model that aims to develop a master production schedule in which numbers of optimal batches are developed in presence of setup time. In addition, we evaluate the performance of the FMILP by comparing its results with a previously reported approach. The findings indicate that significant cost savings were achieved by adopting the fuzzy mathematical programming approach.

Due to the increase in energy demand, many countries suffer from energy poverty because of insufficient and expensive energy supply. Plans to use alternative power like nuclear power for electricity generation are being revived among developing countries. Decisions for installation of power plants need to be based on careful assessment of future energy supply and demand, economic and financial implications and requirements for technology transfer. Since the problem involves many vague parameters, a fuzzy model should be an appropriate approach for dealing with this problem. This study develops a Fuzzy Multi-Objective Linear Programming (FMOLP) model for solving the nuclear power plant installation problem in fuzzy environment. FMOLP approach is recommended for cases where the objective functions are imprecise and can only be stated within a certain threshold level. The proposed model attempts to minimize total duration time, total cost and maximize the total crash time of the installation project. By using FMOLP, the weighted additive technique can also be applied in order to transform the model into Fuzzy Multiple Weighted-Objective Linear Programming (FMWOLP) to control the objective values such that all decision makers target on each criterion can be met. The optimum solution with the achievement level for both of the models (FMOLP and FMWOLP) are compared with each other. FMWOLP results in better performance as the overall degree of satisfaction depends on the weight given to the objective functions. A numerical example demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed models to nuclear power plant installation problem.

A study was undertaken in Bhagwanpur distributary of Vaishali Branch Canal in Gandak Canal Command Area, Bihar to optimally allocate land area under different crops (rice and maize in kharif, wheat, lentil, potato in rabi and green gram in summer) in such a manner that maximizes net return, maximizes crop production and minimizes labour requirement employing simplex linear programming method and Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) method. Maximum net return, maximum agricultural production, and minimum labour required under defined constraints (including 10% affinity level of farmers to rice and wheat crops) as obtained employing Simplex method were ` 3.7 × 108, 5.06 × 107 Kg and 66,092 man-days, respectively, whereas Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) method yielded compromised solution with net return, crop production and labour required as ` 2.4 × 108, 3.3 × 107Kg and 1,79,313 man-days, respectively. As the affinity level of farmers to rice and wheat crops increased from 10% to 40%, maximum net return and maximum production as obtained from simplex linear programming method and MOFLP followed a decreasing trend and minimum labour required followed an increasing trend. MOFLP may be considered as one of the best capable ways of providing a compromised solution, which can fulfill all the objectives at a time.
