Abstract :
The location selection of distribution center is one of the most important decision issues for logistic companies. To reserve uncertainty and vagueness messages in decision, we propose a fuzzy multiple-criteria decision- making(FMCDM) method to solve the location selection problem of distribution center under fuzzy environment. In our method, the ratings of alternatives and the weights of criteria are given in terms of linguistic values, and then transformed into triangular fuzzy numbers.
