Abstract: Abstract This study addresses an interactive multiple fuzzy goal programming (FGP) approach to the multi-period multi-product (MPMP) production planning problem in an imprecise environment. The proposed model attempts to simultaneously minimize total production costs, rates of changes in labor levels, and maximizing machine utilization, while considering individual production routes of parts, inventory levels, labor levels, machine capacity, warehouse space, and the time value of money. Piecewise linear membership functions are utilized to represent decision maker’s (DM’s) overall satisfaction levels. A numerical example demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed model to the MPMP problem. Furthermore, the proposed interactive approach facilitates the DM with a systematic framework of decision making process which enables DM to modify the search direction to reach the most satisfactory results during solving process.
