Possibilistic linear programming problems involving normal random variables

A new solution procedure of possibilistic linear programming problem is developed involving the right hand side parameters of the constraints as normal random variables with known means and variances and the objective function coefficients are considered as triangular possibility distribution. In order to solve the proposed problem, convert the problem into a crisp equivalent deterministic multiobjective mathematical programming problem and then solved by using fuzzy programming method. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the solution procedure and developed methodology. © 2016, IGI Global.
