A Fuzzy Programming Approach for Demand-Driven Requirements Planning

Past surveys on dynamic requirements planning problems assumes that the predicted demands fulfilled completely. In this paper, we tailored a kind of a demand- driven requirements- planning models that is Multiple Price- Demand and Production Cost. It perfectly decides the demands level satisfy to maximize profit and considers any capacitated RPP with multiple demand curve and piecewise- linear and concave revenue (PLC) production costs in a period. Since most of the parameters in such a problem have imprecise nature, a fuzzy programming approach is used to extend this model. To solve the proposed models, a combination solution approach is used. Finally, the proposed approach is validated through several numerical examples and results are reported.
