Abstract :A sustainable fuzzy economic production quantity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFEPQ); inventory model is formulated by introducing the concept of fuzzy differential equation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FDE); due to dynamic behavior of the production-demand system. Generalized Hukuhara insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(gH); differentiability proceedure is applied to solve FDE. Since the demand parameter is taken as trapezoidal type-2 fuzzy number, to get corresponding defuzzified values, first critical value insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CV);-based reduction method is applied on demand function to transfer into type-1 fuzzy variable which turns to hexagonal fuzzy number in form. After that $\alpha$-cut of a hexagonal fuzzy number is used to find the upper and lower value of demand. To apply the $\alpha$-cut operation on FDE, we divided the interval [0,1] into two sub-intervals [0,0.5] and [0.5,1] and gH-differentiation is applied on this sub-intervals. The objective of this paper is to maximize the profit and simultaneously minimize the carbon emission cost occurring due to the process of inventory management. Finally, the non-linear objective functions are solved by using of multi-objective genetic algorithm and sensitivity analyses on various parameters are also performed in numerically and graphically.
