Abstract

Supplier selection decisions are typically multi-objectives in nature and it is an important component of production and logistics management for many firms. The present study mainly investigate a multi-objective supplier selection planing problem in fuzzy environment and the uncertain model is converted into deterministic form by the expected value measure (EVM). This paper aims at multi-objective optimization for minimizing cost and maximizing product quality level. For solving the multi-objective problem a weighted sum base genetic algorithm is applied and the best solution is provided using fuzzy simulation. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and solution approach.
