Product stock management: "Calculating stock provision with triangular fuzzy numbers"

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the distinctive characteristics of the Logistics System, namely: "Calculating stock provision" - in order to do this we have used data belonging to a company in the fashion sector. In order to carry out this investigation, the following sequence has been followed: firstly, the current content of the logistics function concept is defined through the study of its historical evolution in the academic and business sectors; after this evolutionary framework has been laid out, we proceed to identify the key elements characterized by uncertainty, in our approach we will be specifically using the Triangular Fuzzy Numbers technique, and then present a justification for the selection of the case. Finally, and fully in keeping with the above, we will propose a future line of investigation.
