Abstract
In today’s highly competitive environment, an effective supplier selection process is very important to the success of any manufacturing organization. In this context, supplier selection represents one of the most important functions to be performed by the purchasing department. This paper presents a supplier selection problem along with an integrated multi objective, multiproduct, multi period model under hybrid Make-To-Stock (MTS)/Make-To-Order (MTO) production strategy. The model consists of manufacturer, multi-product, multi distributer, and multi-supplier. The objective of the model is to minimize the total cost, minimize the total delivery time, and maximize the facility utilization involved in running supply chain via Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) approach. The model is tested with a set of realistic data and the optimal results show that most of strategic and tactical decisions are obtained. So the model is validated and provided useful tool to select the optimal supplier.
