This paper presents an approach to determine the optimal pickup point on a material handling network. The objective is to find the optimal point which will minimize total cost of material handling network. Fuzzy Theory also applied to formulate the materiai handling cost. We provide a basic model, formulated as Fazzy material handling model. Linguistic variable applied to ma[ke the membership function. This paper used the trapezoidal-shaped fbr it. It has the upper and the lower limit rnaterial

... handling cost. Several alternative formulations are also included. Numerical examples are presented fbr several MHN in the material flow path.
