About

Dr. Fuli Zhou is a leading researcher in operations management and decision science, with a primary focus on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and its applications in healthcare logistics and supply chain management. His most cited work, "Fuzzy extended VIKOR-based mobile robot selection model for hospital pharmacy" (2018, 67 citations), exemplifies his major contribution: developing novel fuzzy MCDM frameworks to solve complex, real-world selection problems. In this seminal paper, Dr. Zhou addressed the critical challenge of automating hospital pharmacies within the Internet of Health Things, modeling the mobile robot selection as a structured decision problem. This work has had a significant impact, providing a rigorous methodology for integrating robotic automation into healthcare systems. Beyond this, his research consistently bridges theoretical fuzzy set models with practical industrial engineering challenges, particularly in green supplier selection and sustainable operations. With a growing citation record, Dr. Zhou is recognized for advancing decision support tools that enhance efficiency and technological adoption in healthcare and manufacturing sectors, making his work essential reading for researchers in applied operations research and healthcare logistics.
