Fuzzy inference systems and inventory allocation decisions: Exploring the impact of priority rules on total costs and service levels

作者：

Highlights：

• This paper assesses inventory allocation decisions in light of fuzzy inference systems.

• It builds upon the scant previous studies in this field of knowledge.

• Priority indexes are developed based on a comprehensive total cost structure.

• The proposed approach outperforms specially in terms of total costs.

• Results are robust for larger retail networks.
