Abstract: One of the primary concerns on supply chain management is to select appropriate suppliers based on different criteria, which are often in serious conflict. In this paper, we present a fuzzy TOPSIS technique to prioritize suppliers on reverse logistic network based on different criteria and then the proposed model of this paper applies fuzzy linear programming technique to determine optimum order quantity associated with each supplier. There are three criteria associated with each supplier including technical skills, equipment and ability to analyze. The implementation of the proposed method has been demonstrated in case study.
