In manufacturing firms, there are many factors that can affect product completion time in production lines. However, in a real production environment, such factors are uncertain and increase the adverse effects on product completion time. This research focuses on the role of internal factors in small- and medium-scale supply chains in developing countries, enhancing product completion time during the manufacturing process in fuzzy conditions. In the first step of this research, a list of factors was found clustered into six main groups: technology, human resources, machinery, material, facility design, and social factors. In the next step, fuzzy weights of each group factor were determined by a fuzzy inference system to reflect the uncertainty of the factors in utilizing product completion time. Then, a hybrid fuzzy–TOPSIS-based heuristic is proposed to generate and select the best production alternative. The outcomes showed that the proposed method could generate and select the alternative with a 10.13% lower product completion time. The findings also indicated that using the proposed fuzzy method will cause less minimum variance compared to the crisp mode.
