Given the recent increasing competition in global market supplier selection and evaluation has attracted a great deal of attention especially at academic levels. Supplier selection problem is a complex problem since there exist a great number of unpredictable and uncontrollable factors which have a huge impact on decision-making process. Due to this complexity there are several criteria that must be taken into consideration such as cost quality on-time delivery proximity of suppliers long-term relationship etc. Although some of these criteria (quantitative) can be expressed using pure numeric scales some (qualitative) are linguistic due to the human assessments which contain some degree of subjectivity. Since involvement of human assessment causes vagueness for deterministic models the authors apply fuzzy logic which enables the decision makers to be able to convert their linguistic expressions into fuzzy numbers with the help of fuzzy membership functions. Considering that fuzzy logic plays a vital role in solving multi-criteria supplier selection problem this paper aims to present a review of supplier selection problem and its relation with fuzzy logic. In this paper several studies that highlight supplier selection problem and the importance of fuzzy logic involvement in the problem have been reviewed. An analysis of multi-criteria decision-making methods for supplier selection problem is conducted.

Distributions of vital goods and services in emergency or post disaster situations are of paramount importance to be able to meet the requirements of those in need on time. Finding an appropriate location for facilities to distribute such goods and services efficiently and quickly is an important challenge. In such a situation location decisions for these facilities must be made quickly considering multiple objectives. This problem is a multi-objective facility location problem (MOFLP). The main focus of this study is to present two solution methodologies for a MOFLP in a post disaster situation. We specifically consider objective of minimizing maximum weighted distance traveled and minimizing total cost of facilities to be opened in order to satisfy all demand. We also provide a version of the problem when the number of facilities to be opened is limited and second objective becomes maximizing demand covered. Due to the conflicting nature of the objective functions we propose to apply Fuzzy TOPSIS and Goal Programming and compare the solutions obtained using these two techniques with respect to solution quality and computational time. We present the developed models and provide results from a real-life application using existing emergency assembly areas and current census data for Bornova/İzmir. This paper contributes in two ways to existing literature. First is the comparison between multiple (two) solution methodologies for MOPLP. Studies in the literature provide only one solution technique such as Fuzzy TOPSIS Goal Programming etc. Secondly we implement these methodologies by using real life data for emergency situations. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
