This paper is devoted to determine the optimal order of each product in a multi-objective and multi-period problem. The considered multiple objective functions include minimizing total purchase and order costs, transaction costs, percentage of returned and delayed products, also maximizing the total reliability of selected suppliers according to the necessity of supplying for each product.
