In this paper, a fuzzy multi-objective model is presented to select and allocate the order to the suppliers in uncertainty conditions, considering multi-period, multi-source, and multi-product cases at two levels of a supply chain with pricing considerations. Objective functions considered in this study as the measures to evaluate the suppliers are the purchase, transportation, and ordering costs, timely delivering or deference shipment quality or wastages which are amongst major quality aspects. Partial and general coverage of suppliers in respect of distance and finally suppliers' weights make the amounts of products orders more realistic. Deference and coverage parameters in the model are considered as uncertain and random triangular fuzzy number. Since the proposed mathematical model is NP-hard, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is presented. To validate the performance of MOPSO, we applied non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). Taguchi technique is executed to tune the parameters of both algorithms. A practical case study in an agricultural industry is shown to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm applies to the real-world problems. The results are analyzed using quantitative criteria, performing parametric, and non-parametric statistical analysis.
