Fuzzy goal programming for inventory management: A bacterial foraging approach 库存管理模糊目标规划：细菌觅食算法 a b s t r a c t摘要 An ef?cient inventory planning approach in today’s global trading regime is necessary not only for increasing the pro?t margin, but also to maintain system ?exibility for achieving higher customer satisfaction. Such an approach should hence be comprised of a prudent inventory policy and clear satisfaction of stakeholder’s goals. Relative signi?cance given to various objectives in a supply chain network varies with product as well as time. In this paper, a model is proposed to ?ll this void for a single product inventory control of a supply chain consisting of three echelons. A generic modi?cation proposed to the membership functions of the fuzzy goal-programming approach is used to mathematically map the aspiration levels of the decision maker. The bacterial foraging algorithm has been modi?ed with enhancement of the algorithms’ capability to map integer solution spaces and utilised to solve resulting fuzzy multi-objective function. An illustrative example comprehensively covers various decision scenarios and highlights the underlying managerial insights. 在今天的全球贸易体制下，一个有效的库存规划方法不仅能够提高边际利润，还能为达到较高的客户满意度维持一定得的系统弹性。因此这个方法应该由谨慎的库存策略和利益相关者目标的清晰的满意度组成。要根据产品和时间的不同给予供应链网络中的不同目标以不同的重要性。本文提出了一个包括三个层次的模型去填补供应链上单一产品的无效性。模糊目标规划方法的从属函数的通用修正可以用于映射决策者的数学期望水平。细菌锻造算法已经被放大修正了算法容量，以映射整数解空间和用于求解由此产生的多目标函数。一个说明示例要全面涵盖不同决策方案和强调基础管理的洞察力。 1.introduction Leading manufacturing and distribution companies strive to make inventory management as one of their core competencies. This fact ascribes pivotal importance to this ?eld among the research community and industrial practitioners. Global nature of operations, volatile market conditions and ?erce competition make it imperative to devise new policies to maintain higher service levels in the lowest possible cost and time. Inventory management has thus become a vital part of any supply chain. Inventory management seeks to integrate
