Integrated supply chain model for deteriorating items with linear stock dependent demand under imprecise and inflationary environment

Abstract

In this paper, we develop an integrated supply chain model for deteriorating item, with linear stock dependent demand, taking into account the views of both the vendor and the multi-buyer under imprecise and inflationary environment. We have used the implicit cost in this model and use function principle to calculate the fuzzy total supply chain cost and graded mean integration representation method is used to defuzzify the fuzzy total supply chain costs.
