Abstract: The main focus of this work is to prove the effectiveness of a fuzzy mathematical programming approach to model a supply chain production planning problem with uncertainty in demand. A fuzzy optimization model that takes into account the lack of knowledge in market demand is developed. This work uses an approach of possibilistic programming. Such an approach makes it possible to model the epistemic uncertainty in demand that could be present in the supply chain production planning problems as triangular fuzzy numbers. The emphasis is on obtaining more knowledge about the impact of fuzzy programming on supply chain planning problems with uncertain demand.
