Supply chain management (SCM) practices have
flourished since the 1990s. Enterprises realize that a large
amount of direct and indirect cost can be managed from
effective and efficient SCM practices. Supplier selection has
great impact on integration of the supply chain relationship.
Effective and accurate supplier selection decisions are
significant components for procurement and distribution
management in many firms to enhance their organizational
performance. In this study a multiple sourcing procurement
distribution optimization problem is considered. Three
objective functions are minimization of costs, maximization of
performance and minimization of carbon emission penalty cost
respectively. In order to solve the problem, a fuzzy
mathematical model and a fuzzy goal programming solution
approach are proposed to satisfy the decision maker’s
aspirations for fuzzy goals. A real life case study is given to
illustrate how the model is utilized.
