The main aim of this research is to develop a decision support system for determining warehouse location. An anticipated model is constructed with fuzzy extension of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and fuzzy extension of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) methods. In this article 16sub-criteria divided in 5 main groups are taken for location decision model collected from literatures review and practical investigations in the distribution arena in Bangladesh.The weights of the sector and subsector are estimated by FAHP method and using FTOPSIS, eligible locations are ranked according to the results. Finally, an empirical study for warehouse location-allocation problem of the retail chain of Rahimafrooz Superstore Ltd. (RSL) named Agora in Bangladesh is presented to visualize the methodologies and effectiveness of the model proposed by this paper.Keywords

The inventory of materials constitutes the most significant part of current assets and working capital in any organisation. A small saving in the inventory will mirror a crucial edge in benefit of the organisation. In Bangladesh, the retail shops generally face two types of inventory related problems which are either stock-out or overstock. As a result, most of the shops fail to maintain their product availability with lowest possible inventory cost. Through proper inventory control techniques, probability of stock-out as well as overstock situations in the retail shops can be minimised. The present paper is a case study of different inventory control techniques for efficient inventory management system of a retail shop of Bangladesh. The sole purpose of the study is to provide a guideline for inventory managers that will help them to ensure product availability at right quantity as and when required. Relevant data were collected from a renowned retail shop, namely, Pran RFL group, Bangladesh. This real case demonstration will certainly help the future researchers as well as the Bangladeshi manufacturers to maintain proper control & management of inventories.Keywords

Selection of the best supply chain contract plays a significant role as a strategic feature and factor of better coordination of all stages in a supply chain. As a variety of uncontrollable and unpredictable factors affect the evaluation and decision-making process at different levels, identification of the most appropriate contract is usually very complex and unstructured. In this paper, Delphi-based analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach has been proposed to tackle the problem. The sole purpose of the paper is to analyse the existing contracts of the organisation and recommend the best one. Necessary data of powdered milk item were collected from a renowned super shop in Bangladesh, namely, Swapno superstore, Dhaka. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach, an illustrative example is presented; the result is analysed at the end of this paper. This work can be a guide for Bangladeshi planners as well as other researchers to identify the most suitable agreement for their supply chain.Keywords
