There is a direct relationship between slab production and mechanical stone characteristics. In this process, the goal and its tolerance cannot be specified firstly due to a lack of knowledge. Therefore, the optimal system design problem for optimal slab production under soft constraints is constructed and solved in a fuzzy environment. The results show that fuzzy linear optimization is a convenient tool for optimizing slab production.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFuzzy linear programmingSlabProductionStoneArticle371717610.1007/s00158-007-0216-12-s2.0-55849098581N/AWOS:000260784200006Q2
