Since its inception, fuzzy linear programming (FLP) has proved to be a more powerful tool than classical linear programming to optimize real-life problems dealing with uncertainty. However, the proposed models are partially fuzzy; in other words, they suppose that only some aspects can be uncertain, while others have to be crisp. Furthermore, the few methods that deal with fully fuzzy problems use Type 1 fuzzy membership function, while Type 2 fuzzy logic captures the uncertainty in a more suitable way. This work presents a fully fuzzy linear programming approach in which all parameters are represented by unrestricted Interval Type 2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FN) and variables by positive IT2FN. The treated comparative results show that the proposed achieves a better optimized function while permitting consideration of both equality and inequality constraints.
