Abstract
In this paper, a direct solution method that is based on ranking methods of fuzzy numbers and tabu search is proposed to solve fuzzy multi-objective aggregate production planning problem. The parameters of the problem are defined as triangular fuzzy numbers. During problem solution four different fuzzy ranking methods are employed/tested. One of the primary objectives of this study is to show that how a multi-objective aggregate production planning problem which is stated as a fuzzy mathematical programming model can also be solved directly (without needing a transformation process) by employing fuzzy ranking methods and a metaheuristic algorithm. The results show that this can be easily achieved. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
