AbstractSelection of an appropriate supplier is a crucial and challenging task in the effective management of a supply chain. Also, appropriate inventory management is critical to the success of a supply chain operation. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the area of selection of an appropriate vendor and creating good inventory planning using supplier selection information. In this paper, we consider both of these tasks in a two-stage approach employing Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (IT2FS) and Simulated Annealing (SA). In the first stage, the supplier selection problem is solved by using IT2FS for ranking the suppliers. We present an inventory model incorporating information from the first stage that captures the influence of supplier risk on the total cost of supply chain operation. In the second stage, SA is used for solving the inventory planning problem based on this model improving on both supply chain operation cost and supplier risk. In this study, we evaluated our approach using different scenarios and scalarisation techniques for SA to handle two objectives, simultaneously.
