A fuzzy linear programming for optimizing multi-stage Supply chain networks

Supply chains are complex systems involving multiple businesses and organizations with different goals and objectives. Many different analytical methods and techniques are used by researchers and practitioners alike to better design and manage their supply chains. Supply chain network (SCN) design is to provide an optimal platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. It is an important and strategic operations management problem in supply chain management, and usually involves multiple and conflicting objectives such as cost, service level, resource utilization, etc. In this paper, a new fuzzy linear programming model for optimizing multi-stage supply chain networks with triangular and trapezoidal membership functions is presented.
