FUZZY MODELLING APPLIED TO JOBSHOP SCHEDULING

Fuzzy set theory allows the complexity of real-life issues to be included within the confines and rigours of the mathematical model. The authors have applied fuzzy methodology to the scheduling of jobs, the objective being the determination of an optimal sequence for dynamic job arrivals such that potentially conflicting priorities are satisfied. This paper concentrates on the theory on which the models are based, demonstrating an application by referring to a static problem.
