Abstract
In this paper, we develop a possibilistic linear programming model for supply chain network design with imprecise inputs: market demands, supplied quantities, transportation costs, opening costs, treatment and storage costs are modelled as fuzzy numbers. An efficient possibilistic linear programme is constructed with fuzzy objective function that minimizes the sum of investment costs and operating costs of the supply chain. A method for solving the programming problem with fuzzy parameters is proposed. Application to a supply chain problem at a European textile company illustrates our methodology. Numerical results show that the performance of the proposed model in handling data uncertainty is better when compared to a classical deterministic model.
