ABSTRACT
This paper presents a fiizzy periodic review inventory model in a dyadic supply chain by
incorporating some uncertain parameters. To cope with such uncertainty, a fuzzy multi-objective
approach is introduced. A solution procedure is proposed such that several fuzzy goals are satisfied
and, in the process, the optimal ordering policy and inventory level are determined.Through providmg
hypothetically constructed case problem, the usefulness of our proposed model is demonstrated.
