Quantity Discounts in Supplier Selection Problem by Use of Fuzzy Multi-criteria Programming

Supplier selection in supply chain is a multi-criteria problem that involves a number of quantitative and qualitative factors. This paper deals with a concrete problem of flour purchase by a company that manufactures bakery products and the purchasing price of flour depends on the quantity ordered. The criteria for supplier selection and quantities supplied by individual suppliers are: purchase costs, product quality and reliability of suppliers. The problem is solved using a model that combines revised weighting method and fuzzy multi-criteria linear programming (FMCLP). The paper highlights the efficiency of the proposed methodology in conditions when purchasing prices depend on order quantities.
