Solving Sequencing Problems Under Fuzzy Environment

Abstract

A sequencing problem is to select the order in which the vital tasks are to be done to minimize the total elapsed time taken for all the tasks. Generally, in job sequencing problems, the processing times are precisely valued. But in reality, it is observed that the processing times during the performance of the job are indefinite. For that reason, the conception of fuzzy job sequencing problem make available for use an effective outline which is useful for real-life situations with fuzzy processing times. Here, we suggest a new technique for solution of fuzzy sequencing problems involving triangular fuzzy numbers (TFN) without transforming them into equivalent crisp sequencing problem.
