A hybrid approach combining fuzzy consensus-based goal programming and TOPSIS

Abstract

In hotly competitive international industrial and economic environments, supply chain coordination (SCC) is one of active research topics in production and operation management. In this research work, we present a new consensus-based fuzzy goal programming approach for supply chain coordination problem. It is formulated as a multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem and solved by combining consensus-based goal programming with TOPSIS method in a fuzzy environment. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach, an example of robot selection problem is presented and the numerical results analyzed.
