Description
Summary:The research on multi-period optimization using modified interactive multi-objective fuzzy programming for product complaints in pharmaceutical supply chains is new and evolving. This study proposes and develops an integrated multi-period, multi-objective medicine supply chain model in healthcare. The study considers an unknown number of drug manufacturer complaints. The business triad is a term used to describe the combination of the three objectives: time, quality, and cost. The process starts with developing a mathematical model for the business triad. A modified interactive multi-objective fuzzy programming is then proposed for the optimization of the business triad, has been proposed. The proposed method blends expert opinion and experience using fuzzy linguistic variables and a triangle membership function. A numerical example demonstrates the practical application of the proposed model. This study considers a model for fuzzy inventory pharmaceutical products with a two-tier supply chain. This supply chain model aids healthcare decision-makers in acquiring medications that meet the necessary time, quality, and cost standards.
