Review text

Summary: The crucial part of decision-making in a two-echelon supply chain modelling is to decide the production quantity of the manufacturer to satisfy the demand of the retailers. In this paper, we develop a two-echelon supply chain model with one manufacturer and multiple retailers. The production quantity of the manufacturer and demand of each retailer are the uncertain components of the model, and they are quantified by fuzzy numbers. Wright's learning function is applied in the fuzzy limits to appertain the knowledge acquired through experience of supply chain leaders in decision-making. We determine the optimal order quantity of each retailer by calculus method. An approximate value of generalised harmonic numbers is employed for the derivation of optimal values in learning model. Numerical examples are supplied to demonstrate both fuzzy and learning models. The robustness of the learning model is explained using numerical examples and comparative study.
