Abstract
This paper models supply chain uncertainties by fuzzy sets and develops a fuzzy linear programming model for tactical supply chain planning in a multi-echelon, multi-product, multi-stage with different methods of manufacturing in each stage, multi-distribution centre and multi-period supply chain network. In this approach, the demand, process and supply uncertainties are jointly considered. The aim is to achieve the best use of the available resources and the best method of manufacturing at each stage for a product along the time horizon so that customer demands are met at a minimum cost. The fuzzy model provides the decision maker with alternative decision plans with different degrees of satisfaction.
