CHANCE CONSTRAINT PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT WITH FUZZY COST PARAMETERS

Abstract

Coordination is one of the most critical challenges in supply chain management. Depending on the level of coordination, supply chains can be categorized as either centralized or decentralized. In a centralized model, a single decision-maker seeks to optimize the performance of the entire supply chain by minimizing overall costs and maximizing system-wide efficiency. In contrast, in a decentralized model, each member independently pursues its own profit objectives. This study examines a two-stage supply chain structure consisting of a supplier and a retailer under fuzzy production cost parameters. To address the uncertainty, the fuzzy chance-constrained programming (FCCP) method is applied to determine the optimal order quantities that maximize the total profit in both centralized and decentralized settings. Unlike most previous studies that analyze these structures separately, this research provides a comparative framework integrating FCCP with credibility theory across both coordination mechanisms. In addition, the decentralized model incorporates a goal programming structure to capture the conflicting objectives of independent members. This unified approach offers both methodological novelty and practical insights for decision-making under uncertainty in supply chain coordination.
