In today's economic market, reliability is a key ingredient to a successful supply chain. The sourcing from multiple suppliers and the order allocation among them are strategic decisions in developing a reliable supply chain. In this study a multiple sourcing and order allocation problem with price discounts is considered as a multiple objective linear programming problem with fuzzy parameters. The considered three objective functions are minimization of the total monetary cost, the total number of rejected units and the total number of late deliveries respectively. To solve the problem, the most appropriate fuzzy mathematical programming approach is adopted for the presented mathematical model. The efficiency of the model is illustrated by a numerical example.
