MINIMIZING THE MACHINE PROCESSING TIME IN A FLOW SHOP SCHEDULING PROBLEM UNDER PIECEWISE QUADRATIC FUZZY NUMBERS

Minimizing the Machine Processing Time in a Flow Shop Scheduling Problem under Piecewise Quadratic Fuzzy Numbers

The piecewise quadratic fuzzy number (PQFN) can signify uncertain information that exists in scientific, technological, and engineering fields.Hence, it is a useful tool for describing information in scheduling problems.This study examines structured n-job 2005 buick century starter flow shop scheduling with fuzzy piecewise quadratic processing tim
