This book lights out the different improvement of the recent history of fuzzy logic. The present chapter deals with the connections that exist between fuzzy logic and production scheduling. Production scheduling is a part of operational research which relies on combinatorial optimization solved by discrete methods. This large area covers several well-known combinatorial problems: vehicle routing problem (in which several vehicle must visit customers at once), scheduling problem [18] (explained in section 2 of this chapter), bin-packing problem (where piece must be placed in a rectangle), assignment problem (where piece must be assign to machine while optimizing a criterion). These short number of both theoretical and practical problems are persistent in numerous technical areas: transportation (flights, trucks, ships, auto-guided-vehicles), shop scheduling, surgery operating theater, layout of warehouse, landing/takeoff runway scheduling, timetable.
