%0 Journal Article %T A Fuzzy Model for A Multistage Supply Chain System Controlled By Kanban %A Alp Kor %A Mehmet Can %J Southeast Europe Journal of Soft Computing %D 2012 %I %X : This paper deals with a multi-machine supply chain system operating under just-intimedelivery policy with fuzzy demands. For this purpose, the system is modeled as a fuzzylinear programming problem. In JIT delivery policy, kanban has the role of a transporter. Bythe solution of the related fuzzy linear programming problem, the number of kanbans isdetermined optimally. Fuzzy demands method enables one to minimize inventory costs underuncertain demand fluctuations. %K economic and business systems %K fuzzy demand %K kanban %K just in time %K inventory cost %U http://www.scjournal.com.ba/index.php/scjournal/article/view/9/8
