Abstract: For the manufacturing and distribution problem of fast moving consumer goods with fuzzy demands, a fuzzy linear programming model is presented. This model is capable solve multitime period, multiplant, multiproduct and multidistribution centers manufacturing and distribution integration problem. Considering inventory level in distribution centers, it minimizes the total manufacturing cost, inventory cost and distribution cost. A case study is used to demonstrate the feasibility of applying the proposed model.

Key words: manufacturing and distribution, coordination, fuzzy demand, fast moving consumer goods
