A fuzzy multi-objective supply chain production planning model: A case of the network product manufacturing industry in Taiwan

摘要

This paper formulates a novel fuzzy multi-level multi-objective production planning (FMLMOPP) model for a supply chain under a fuzzy environment. An efficient two-phase interactive solution procedure is developed to obtain a good solution that maximizes the total supply chain profit and the satisfactory degree. The proposed solution procedure, modified from Sakawa et al.'s interactive fuzzy programming approach, can be easily adopted by practitioners. Through a negotiation case study, a well-known network product manufacturing supply chain in Taiwan is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and the solution procedure, as compared with Sakawa et al.'s method with only one objective at the manufacturer level. Finally, several important findings and managerial implications are drawn from this study.
