Abstract: Since the practical production is not continuously available and sometimes suffers unexpected breakdowns, this paper applies uncertainty theory to introducing an uncertain production risk process with breakdowns to handle the production problem with uncertain cycle times (consisting of uncertain on-times and uncertain off-times) and uncertain production amounts. The concept of shortage index of the uncertain production risk process with breakdowns is provided and some formulas for the calculation are given. Furthermore, the shortage time of the uncertain production risk process with breakdowns is proposed and its uncertainty distribution is obtained. Finally, some numerical examples are revealed.
