An Uncertain Aggregate Production Planning Model Considering Investment in Vegetable Preservation Technology

Source abstract

In this paper, we study the aggregate production planning problem for vegetables within the framework of uncertainty theory. In detail, preservation technology investment is taken into consideration to reduce the deterioration rate and improve the freshness of the vegetables. Meanwhile, an expected profit model considering preservation technology investment under the capacity constraints is built, whose objective is to find the optimal yield, workforce, and preservation investment strategies. Moreover, the proposed model can be transformed into its crisp equivalent form. Finally, a numerical example is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed uncertain aggregate production planning model.
