Description
Summary:This study applies fuzzy sets to integrate the supply chain network of an edible vegetable oils manufacturer. The proposed fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model attempts to simultaneously minimize the total transportation costs. The first part of the total transportation costs is between suppliers and silos; and rest one is between manufacturer and warehouses. The approach incorporates all operating realities and actual flow patterns at production/distribution network with reference to demands of warehouses, capacities of tin and pet packaging lines. The model has been formulated as a multi objective linear programming model where data are modeled by triangular fuzzy numbers. Finally, the developed fuzzy model is applied for the case study, compiled the results and discussed.
