description In real-life scenarios, there are many mathematical tools to handle incomplete and imprecise data. One of them is the fuzzy approach. The main issue with addressing nonlinear interval programming (NIP) problems is that the optimal solution to the problem is a decision made under uncertainty that has a risk of not satisfying the feasibility and optimality criteria. Some strategies handle this kind of problem using classical terminology such as optimal solution and feasible solution. These strategies are insufficient for efficient analysis since the properties of the solution in an uncertain environment are ignored. Therefore, in the proposed approach, more suitable terminologies were suggested for the analysis process. In addition, it combines parametric treatment and interactive methodology. This article aims to contribute to the literature of fuzzy multi-objective dynamic programming (MODP) issues involving the fuzzy objective functions. The piecewise quadratic fuzzy numbers characterize these fuzzy parameters. Some basic notions in the problem under the <i>α</i>-pareto optimal solution concept is redefined and analyzed to study the stability of the problem. Furthermore, a technique, named the decomposition approach (DP), is presented for achieving a subset for the parametric space that contains the same <i>α</i>-pareto optimal solution. For a better understanding of the suggested concept, a numerical example is provided.
