Abstract

In this paper, a Multi-Criteria De Novo Linear Programming (F- MDNLP) problem has been developed under consideration of the ambiguity of parameters. These fuzzy parameters are characterized by fuzzy numbers. A fuzzy goal programming approach is applied for the corresponding multi-criteria De Novo linear programming (MDNLP) problem by defining suitable membership functions and aspiration levels. The advantage of the approach is that the decision maker's role is only the specification of the level and hence evaluate the  efficient solution for limitation of his/ her incomplete knowledge about the problem domain. A numerical example is given for illustration.
