Fuzzy Inventory Control of a Supply Chain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inventory control is an important factor in reducing the operating costs of the supply chain. This study proposes using a fuzzy inventory controller to make the ordering decision for the members in a supply chain. Such a controller is expressed as a set of fuzzy rules, which allows the manager to summarize his/her experience of reasoning process as well as incorporate conventional proportional control laws in arriving at final control actions. The performance of the proposed inventory controller is compared to a traditional inventory policy. Key-Words: Supply chain management, Fuzzy logic control, Inventory management, System dynamics

Multi-objective design of fuzzy logic controller in supply chain
Unlike commonly used methods, in this paper, we have introduced a new approach for designing fuzzy controllers. In this approach, we have simultaneously optimized both objective functions of a supply chain over a two-dimensional space. Then, we have obtained a spectrum of optimized points, each of which represents a set of optimal parameters which can be chosen by the manager ...
متن کاملSingle cycle supply chain coordination model for fuzzy stochastic demand of perishable items
Market demand of the perishable bakery products are volatile. Hence, demand of such items are random variable. The most appealing demand distribution of such items is lognormal demand distribution. Using historical data, the parameters of lognormal distribution are obtained. But, there is a problem of overestimation or underestimation of the parameters. Fuzzy triangular numbers are used to ov...

Due to the rapid development of technology in recent years, market competition and customer expectations have increased more than ever. In this situation, it is vital for businesses survival to determine the appropriate policy for inventory control, pricing, and routing, and decisions regarding each of them are often made separately. If the products have a perishable nature, it will be more imp...
متن کاملTwo-level supply chain for a deteriorating item with stock and promotional cost dependent demand under shortages
In this research work, a wholesaler-retailer-customer supply chain model for a deteriorating item is considered, where the retailer's warehouse in the market place has a limited capacity. The retailer can rent an additional warehouse (rented warehouse) if needed, with a higher rent compared to the existing warehouse (own warehouse). The customers' demand of the item is linearly influenced by th...
متن کاملIntelligent Supply Chain Management
Fuzzy Logic is used to derive the optimal inventory policies in the Supply Chain (SC) numbers. We examine the performance of the optimal inventory policies by cutting the costs and increasing the supply chain management efficiency. The proposed inventory policy uses multi-agent and Fuzzy logic, and provides managerial insights on the impact of the decision making in all the SC numbers. In parti...
