Abstract

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming approach to solve IT professionals’ utilization problems for software firms. These problems involve multiple objectives and binary decision variables. The fuzzy goal programming approach helps to quantify uncertainness of the objectives of the problem. With the help of membership functions, the problem is converted to its equivalent deterministic form. A case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach.
