2 94 of DCs are taken nto account and the resulted formulaton s called capactated faclty locaton problem (CP) (ee, 99; nd & Basta, 994, Prkul & Jayaraman, 996, 998; Jayaraman & Prkul, 200; Amr 2006; Keskn & Uster, 2007, among others) Tragantalerngsak et al (2000) studed a two-echelon faclty locaton problem where the facltes n the frst echelon are consdered as uncapactated whle the facltes n the second echelon are capactated There are many nput parameters nvolved n confguraton of a supply network whch are ether determnstc or stochastc such as dstance or customers demands Although some of the parameters, such as dstance, could be determnstc but there are other mportant factors, lke demand, whch are subect to uncertanty and have been dealt wth through stochastc programmng models (ogendran & Terrell, 988; Sheral & Rzzo, 99; wang, 2002, Mranda & Garrdo, 2008) A normal case to handle the uncertanty s to use hstorcal data to fnd an estmate of the uncertan data owever, n many cases, when the hstorcal data are unrelable or the perod of the study s short, the probablty dstrbutons of customers demands cannot be obtaned easly Instead, we could use fuzzy decson makng methods where we are able to use expert's opnon n a form of lngustc terms such as lttle, moderate, large, etc to provde estmatons for the uncertan parameters Therefore, the fuzzy set theory (Zadeh, 965) can be used to deal wth ths stuaton There are many cases where faclty locaton problems are analyzed usng the concept of fuzzy programmng (Darzentas, 987; Rao & Saraswat, 988) Bhattacharya et al (992) developed a fuzzy goal programmng approach to deal wth ths problem Zhou and u (2007) consdered a capactated faclty locaton-allocaton problem, and used a fuzzy programmng method to solve t In ths paper we develop a fuzzy mult-obectve mxed nteger lnear programmng (MOMIP) model for capactated DC locaton and dstrbuton decsons n supply chans where demands of customers and capactes of the DCs are assumed to have some possblty dstrbuton, and rsks assocated wth each potental DC locaton as well as each arc of the network are consdered as fuzzy numbers The possblty programmng approach s used for transformng the resultng fuzzy model to ts crsp equvalent, and the compromse programmng method s adopted to solve ths mult-obectve model Rsk of each potental DC locaton s expressed usng lngustc varables assocated wth natural dsasters such as fre hstory, earthquake possblty, tornados, hurrcanes, etc for evaluatng each locaton n terms of dsrupton rsks Rsks related to the arcs mply nherent rsks n the transportaton of products from each plant to each DC and from each DC to each customer These rsks may be vewed as rsks related to dfferent transportaton modes or nstance, we assume the shpments of the products from DC A to customer C are less rsky f the transportaton faclty s tran and they are more rsky f regular trucks are used, nstead We also consder other condtons affectng the qualty of shpment between each two nodes n each two echelons of the network Zhou and u (2007) studed locatng of facltes n the contnuous soluton space and consdered a sngle-stage dstrbuton problem The problem formulaton of ths study, however, deals wth faclty locaton decsons n dscrete space n a twostage dstrbuton problem urthermore, we consder a b-obectve model whereas they dealt wth the classcal sngle-obectve capactated locaton-allocaton problem The paper s organzed as follows In Secton 2, we brefly revew possblty programmng for multobectve lnear programmng models Mathematcal formulaton of the proposed network desgn problem s developed n Secton 3 In Secton 4, we provde a numercal example for the problem under nvestgaton and dscuss the results nally, n Secton 5, conclusons are gven to summarze the contrbuton of the work 2 Possblty programmng for mult-obectve lnear programmng models Neg and ee (993) proposed a fuzzy mult-obectve lnear programmng model as follows, Maxmze n = c r x, r =,2, p, ()
