This non-linear membership function is flexible and convenience to the decision makers in their decision making process. Secondly, a nonlinear objective function in the form of cubic function for fuzzy optimization problems is successfully solved by 15 hybrid and non-hybrid optimization techniques from the area of soft computing and classical approaches. An intelligent performance analysis table is tabulated to the convenience of decision makers and implementers to select the niche optimization techniques to apply in real word problem solving approach particularly related to industrial engineering problems. © 2012 American Institute of Physics. %P 325-331 %C Las Vegas, NV %T Hybrid intelligent algorithms for industrial production planning %A P.
