ABSTRACT :

A real Supply Chain (SC) functions in an uncertain environment. Different type of uncertainties exist along the SC. These are random. Uncertainty appears in customer demand, production and supply. The SC models developed till now either neglect uncertainty or considered it approximately by the use of probability concepts. This paper concentrates on developing a fuzzy model for analyzing supply chain dynamics and measures of performance during a finite time horizon. It has been seen that uncertain customer demand and uncertain supply  along the supply chain have great impact on supply chain behavior. In this paper satisfaction of customer is examined in an uncertain environment using fuzzy concept. This model gives very useful results to understand the real situation of the demand and production. These models help to reduce lead time, holding cost and maximize the profit as well. The proposed scheme provides managerial insights on the impact of the decision making in all the supply chain elements including suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, transporters, retailers, and customers.

Keywords: Supply chain, uncertain environment, fuzzy logic
