Abstract

This paper deals with fuzzy goal programming approach to bi-level multi-objective programming problem with fuzzy parameters. In the proposed approach, the tolerance membership functions for the fuzzily described objective functions are defined by determining individual optimal solution of the objective functions of each of the decision makers. Since the objectives are potentially conflicting in general, possible relaxations of both level decisions are considered by providing preference bounds on the decision variables for avoiding decision deadlock. Then fuzzy goal programming technique is used for achieving highest degree of each of the membership goals by minimizing negative deviational variables. An algorithm is presented with termination criteria. An illustrative numerical example is provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
