Abstract

Since goal programming was introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Ferguson (1955), goal programming has been widely studied and applied in various areas. Parameter estimation is quite important in many areas. Recently, many researches have been studied in fuzzy estimation. In this study, fuzzy goal programming was proposed by Hannan (1981) adapted to estimation of randomized complete block design parameters. Suggested fuzzy goal programming is used for estimation of randomized complete block design parameters. Two numerical examples are used to illustrate the applicability of the suggested method. Then, the results obtained from classical method and suggested methods have been compared. © Association for Scientific Research.
