An Application of Soft Set and Fuzzy Soft Set Theories to Stock Management

We give a new application of both notions of a soft set and of a fuzzy soft set to the effective management of stock-out situation. We construct a model to track the remaining raw materials in stock at the end of the first week (or first month) by using soft sets theory. Then we introduce an algorithm for factors influencing stock management using the notion of a fuzzy soft set. If we use these soft set and fuzzy soft set models at the same time, we can more accurately track the stock-out situations of raw materials.
