Abstract
The paper addresses the optimal design of the last branch of the supply chain, i.e., the Distribution Network (DN). We extend a deterministic optimization model previously proposed by the authors, using fuzzy numbers and fuzzy logic to take into account uncertainty in the DN model and in the DN design. Hence, a procedure employing digraph modeling and fuzzy mixed integer linear programming is presented to select the optimal DN configuration. To show the method effectiveness, the optimization model is applied to a case study.
