Abstract:
In this study, a typical supply chain network design problem consisting of plants, distribution centers, and customers is considered with the assumptions of multi-mode demand and multi-mode transportation. In it, the parameters of the problem are considered as a trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy value to handle the vagueness in the information. Based on it, a hybrid approach is proposed where the fuzzy objective function is converted to a set of crisp objective functions and the fuzzy constraints are crisped using their credibility measure. Finally, the crisp multi-objective formulation is obtained and solved it with different approaches. To evaluate the formulations and solution approaches, a case study from healthcare sector and several test problems are used. The results of computational experiments are used to compare the solution approaches, where the behavior of the proposed crisp formulation is fully discovered.
