Optimizing a hybrid vendor-managed inventory and transportation problem with fuzzy demand: An improved particle swarm optimization algorithm
A VMI model in a MRSV supply chain under CS is developed. The demand is fuzzy and the centroid defuzzification method is employed for defuzzification. The transportation cost is considered. A GA is utilized in order to verify the solution obtained by PSO. The Taguchi method is used to calibrate the parameters.
