Abstract

The coordinate operating process of a supply chain is considered. The supply chain is consisting of a manufacturer, a supplier and several customers, the semi-finished products of the supplier are raw materials of the manufacturer, demands of customers are uncertain, and the uncertainties of demands are described as fuzzy sets. A multi-objective fuzzy programming model for coordinate operations of the supply chain is constructed and a numerical example is proposed. The results of the numerical example show that decision makers can obtain an optimal operations strategy by using the model proposed in this paper according to the level of uncertainties of demands, and the operation strategy possesses robustness in same ways.
