logistics outsourcing has been at the top of the management agenda during recent decades. the selection of the proper service supplier is the key to success in logistic outsourcing firms could select the right supplier by applying appropriate methods and selection criteria. in this paper a new framework is proposed on the basis of weighted additive fuzzy programming approach and linear programm...

In this paper, Multi objective two stage Fuzzy transportation problem is solved in a feasible method. For this solution zero suffix method is used in which the supplies and demands are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and fuzzy membership of the objective function is defined. Here a numerical example is solved to check the validity of the proposed method. Mathematics Subject Classifications: 90C08, 90C90

This paper presents solution technique of geometric programming with fuzzy parameters to solve structural model. Here we are considered all fuzzy parameters as a generalized fuzzy number i.e. generalized triangular fuzzy number and generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. Here material density of the bar, permissible stress of each bar and applied load are fuzzy numbers. We use geometric programmi...

Ranking fuzzy numbers are an important aspect of decision making in a fuzzy environment. Since their inception in 1965, many authors have proposed different methods for ranking fuzzy numbers. However, there is no method which gives a satisfactory result to all situations. Most of the methods proposed so far are nondiscriminating and counterintuitive. This paper proposes a new method for ranking...

Linear programming problems with trapezoidal fuzzy variables (FVLP) have recently attracted some interest. Some methods have been developed for solving these problems by introducing and solving certain auxiliary problems. Here, we apply a linear ranking function to order trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Then, we establish the dual problem of the linear programming problem with trapezoidal fuzzy varia...

Kheirfam and Hasani (Sensitivity analysis for fuzzy linear programming problems with fuzzy variables, Advanced Modeling and Optimization, 12 (2010) 257-272), proposed a new method to deal with the sensitivity analysis of such fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems in which all the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints and the coefficients of the decision variables in the objective ...
