Abstract
Numerous frameworks have been developed to address uncertainty in various domains. Among the most
prominent are Fuzzy Sets,26 Rough Sets,15 Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets,4 Hesitant Fuzzy Sets,23 Neutrosophic
Sets,3 as well as other emerging theories that continue to be actively explored. Supply Chain Management
(SCM) involves planning, coordinating, and optimizing the flow of goods, information, and finances across
the entire supply network.9, 16 In this paper, we introduce rigorous Mathematical Frameworks for Fuzzy Sup-
ply Chain Management (FSCM) and Neutrosophic Supply Chain Management (NSCM). We hope that these
formulations will foster further advances in both supply chain optimization and the development of Fuzzy Set
and Neutrosophic Set-based models.
