Abstract. This paper describes a mathematical model for supply chain network consists of multiple objectives with uncertain constraint, deterministic constraint solved by fuzzy mixed integer linear program. The model consists of two different objective functions such as minimizing the overall cost and maximizes the profit in supply chain. Imprecise objectives and uncertain constraints are modeled by triangular fuzzy numbers which help the decision makers to achieve the aspiration level and the constraints are solved by possibilistic membership approach. Fuzzy approach is applied to overcome the vagueness, imprecision and uncertainty in real life situations and the model has been applied to supplier selection of a high technology company named Multi-Flex Lami-Print Ltd which manufactures Flexible Packaging materials.
