Abstract
Fuzzy set theory has been studied extensively over the past 30 years. Most of the early interest in fuzzy set theory pertained to representing uncertainty in human cognitive processes (see for example Zadeh (1965)). Fuzzy set theory is now applied to problems in engineering, business, medical and related health sciences, and the natural sciences. In an effort to gain a better understanding of the use of fuzzy set theory in production management research and to provide a basis for future research, a literature review of fuzzy set theory in production management has been conducted. While similar survey efforts have been undertaken for other topical areas, there is a need in production management for the same. Over the years there have been successful applications and implementations of fuzzy set theory in production management. Fuzzy set theory is being recognized as an important problem modeling and solution technique.
