Introduction
Fuzzy Programming is an optimization model that deals with performing optimization in the presence of uncertainty. This optimization technique is used when determining the exactness of a system's performance criteria/parameters and decision variables is not possible. One approach to account for uncertainty in a system is to model the uncertainty using probability distributions. However, sometimes uncertainty can be better described using qualitative objectives, or 'Fuzzy' statements, such as young or old, and hot or cold, because clear boundaries do not necessarily exist.
