Abstract
The use of fuzzy methodologies is an efficient way of accounting for vagueness in human judgment. This paper illustrates potential applications of fuzzy methodologies to various areas of production management including new product development, facilities planning, human production management, production scheduling and inventory control, quality and industrial process control, and cost/benefit analysis. In addition, important areas for new research are discussed.
