Description
Summary:Nowadays, companies are paying more attention to supply chain management in order to achieve success in the competitions and keep the customers satisfied. Therefore, supplier selection is of prime importance in a supply chain which has a key role in determining the success or failure of a business. In this paper, fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model with group decision making is presented. Firstly, linguistic variables in the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and group decisions are defined. By using TOPSIS method, the weight of each criterion (objective) and weight of each constraint are determined. Then, with defining membership functions of the objectives and membership functions of suppliers’ constraints and using the achieved weights from the previous phase, the supplier selection problem will be converted to fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model which determines the appropriate ordering quantities for each supplier. Finally, two numerical examples for supplier selection are used to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
