Abstract :
By using fuzzy linear programming (FLIP), tolerance intervals are used for calculating the availability of capital at each point in time. The main advantage, compared to the non-fuzzy problem formulation, is the fact that the decision maker is not forced into a precise formulation for mathematical reasons. Linear membership functions which monotonically increase or decrease in the tolerance interval are used because they can be handled quite easily. A numeric example is given
