Abstract

Supply Chain Management (SCM) problem can be simply described as if an enterprise is requested to provide adequate commodities to its customers on time, it should be able to design its own appropriate purchase/production/transportation network at the lowest-cost level in time. Modeling SCM by fuzzy mathematical programming is an innovative and a popular issue, this chapter introduces fuzzy multiple attribute decision making (FMADM) and fuzzy multiple objective programming (FMOP) for the solutions of SCM.
