The track of developing Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) models with uncertainties described as fuzzy numbers has been very lucrative.In this paper, a fuzzy Economic Switches Production Quantity (EPQ) model is developed to address a specific problem in a theoretical setting.Not only is the production time finite, but also backorders are allowed.The uncertainties, in the industrial context, come from the fact that the production availability is uncertain as well as the demand.
These uncertainties will be handled with fuzzy numbers and ORG CHICK PEAS the analytical solution to the optimization problem will be obtained.A theoretical example from the process industry is also given to illustrate the new model.
