A Fuzzy Multi-Attribute Decision Making Model for Selecting the Best Supply Chain Strategy: Lean, Agile or Leagile

During recent years, determining appropriate strategy in the supply chain has become animportant strategic issue. However, the nature of these decisions usually is complex andunstructured. To determine the best supply chain strategy, many quantitative and qualitativeattributes such as cost, responsiveness and flexibility can be taken into account. In order toapproximate the human subjective evaluation process, it would be desirable to apply a fuzzyMADM model. In this paper a fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) model isdeveloped to deal with strategy selection problem in a supply chain. A case study is used tovalidate the proposed model and the corresponding results show the power of the proposedmodel in handling subjective data in multi-attribute decision making process
