The effects of fuzzy forecasting models on supply chain performance

One of the important activities which directly affect the supply chain performance is the demand forecasting. But selection of the appropriate forecasting model that best fits the demand pattern is not an easy decision. This paper analyze the effects of fuzzy linear regression, fuzzy time series and fuzzy grey GM (1,1) forecasting models on supply chain performance quantifying the demand variability through the stages.
