ABSTRACT
One of the problems that government managers deal with are medical inventory management in COVID-19 conditions. Based on this situation, the best strategy for managing and reducing inventory costs can be Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) policy in the recent decade. Therefore, a hybrid fuzzy and data-driven robust optimization for Resilience and Sustainable Health Care Supply Chain (RSHCSC) with VMI approach is appropriate for improving the inventory management system and tackling uncertainty and disruption in this situation. Three RSHCSC models are suggested using hybrid fuzzy and data-driven robust optimization with a stochastic programming approach. The first model is average and mean absolute function, the second model is Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), the third model is Minimax model, and the final model is the traditional inventory model. Each of the proposed models has advantages and disadvantages that depend on the conservative level of decision-maker. Sensitivity analysis is done on essential parameters like fuzzy cut, confidence level, robust and resilience coefficient, and size models. The results show that increasing fuzzy cut, confidence level, robustification coefficient, resiliency coefficient, and CVaR confidence level amount of costs grows. The Minimax function is suitable for conservative decision-makers.
