Abstract

Generally, it is very difficult to determine the medicine supply in hospital under uncertain environment. Here, the medical supply decision problem in uncertain environment is modeled as a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model. First, the medicine supply in hospital management system is analyzed and the uncertainties in medicine supply are modeled as fuzzy numbers. Second, a fuzzy medicine scheduling is built to fit the uncertain demand and the solving steps are illustrated too. Third, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the proposed model, and the compared results verify its effectiveness. Last, some important conclusions and future work are sum up at the end of the paper.
