Abstract
This article proposes a linear integer optimization model incorporating fuzzy parameters to find the optimal solution for a dynamic supplier selection problem with uncertain demand. The uncertain demand value is represented using a fuzzy variable. A fuzzy expected value-based linear optimization solver is used to address the optimization problem, to minimize the total cost under fuzzy demand values. Several computational experiments were conducted to evaluate and analyze the model. The results show that the proposed model effectively identifies the optimal suppliers for each product. Additionally, the model determines the optimal purchase volumes for each product type from the selected suppliers, leading to the minimal total expected cost.
