This problem occurs in production planning in which a decision maker plays a pivotal role in making decisions under a fuzzy environment. Decision maker should be aware of his/her level-of-satisfaction as well as degree of fuzziness while making the product mix decision. Thus, the authors have analyzed using a modified S-curve membership function for the fuzziness patterns and fuzzy sensitivity of the solution found from the multi-objective optimization methodology. An ad hoc Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is proposed to capture multiple nondominated solutions in a single run of the algorithm. Results obtained have been compared with the well-known multi-objective evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008. %Z cited By 3
