Fuzzy cognitive maps for strategic decision making of logistics systems

Abstract

Today supply chain and logistics systems are extremely complex, characterized by a huge amount of available data and information that are taken into consideration to make decision in any of the three levels, at operational, tactical and strategic. Fuzzy Cognitive Map is an abstract modeling methodology that has suc-cessfully used to model complex systems. Here it is proposed a methodology for applying Fuzzy Cognitive Maps for Strategic Decision Making. The proposed approach tested and implemented for strategic decision making tasks for the port and services environment of the Trieste area.
