TLDR
In this paper, a survey presents crisp and fuzzy models developed for the supply chain (SC) developed for manufacturing and service industries, with reference to different aspects of an SC system, with respect to different fuzzy models for different SC systems and compare them with related crisp models.
Abstract
This survey presents crisp and fuzzy models developed for the Supply Chain (SC). To this end, fuzzy concepts are first briefly reviewed. Then the structure of a supply chain system is explained. Recent challenges and ideas on these systems are also surveyed. Then, with reference to different aspects of an SC system, we classify the recent fuzzy models developed for different SC systems and compare them with related crisp models. Applications of the SC in manufacturing and service industries are investigated in each case.

Fuzzy optimization for supply chain planning under supply, demand and process uncertainties

TL;DR: A fuzzy mathematical programming model for supply chain planning which considers supply, demand and process uncertainties, formulated as a fuzzy mixed-integer linear programming model where data are ill-known and modelled by triangular fuzzy numbers is proposed.

Fuzzy-genetic approach to aggregate production-distribution planning in supply chain management

TL;DR: A fuzzy integrated multi-period and multi-product production and distribution model in supply chain is developed in terms of fuzzy programming and the solution is provided by genetic optimization (genetic algorithm).

A fuzzy linear programming based approach for tactical supply chain planning in an uncertainty environment

TL;DR: The fuzzy model provides the decision maker (DM) with alternative decision plans with different degrees of satisfaction to centralize multi-node decisions simultaneously to achieve the best use of the available resources along the time horizon so that customer demands are met at a minimum cost.

Select supplier-related issues in modelling a dynamic supply chain: potential, challenges and direction for future research

TL;DR: A broad review of the main approaches to supplier-related issues especially supplier selection, supplier-buyer relationships, supplier buyer flexibility in relationships in a dynamic supply chain is provided in this article.

Stochastic multi-objective production-distribution network design using simulation-based optimization

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimization methodology that combines a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) and simulation is proposed to optimize not only the structure of the production-distribution network but also its operation strategies and related control parameters.

Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors

TL;DR: Porter as mentioned in this paper presents a comprehensive structural framework and analytical techniques to help a firm to analyze its industry and evolution, understand its competitors and its own position, and translate this understanding into a competitive strategy to allow the firm to compete more effectively to strengthen its market position.

Outline of a New Approach to the Analysis of Complex Systems and Decision Processes

TL;DR: By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.

Developing Buyer-Seller Relationships:

TL;DR: For example, this paper pointed out that most of the research and too many of the marketing strategies treat buyer-seller exchange as a primary concern. But, they also pointed out, "too much research and practice have focused persistently on exchange between buyers and sellers".

Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a new book about fuzzy set theory and its applications is presented, which can be used to explore the knowledge of the knowledge in a new way, even for only few minutes to read a book.
