AB  - Fuzzy hybrid models are strong mathematical tools to address vague and uncertain 
      information in real-life circumstances. The aim of this article is to introduce a 
      new fuzzy hybrid model named as of q-rung orthopair m-polar fuzzy soft set 
      (q-RO-m-PFSS) as a robust fusion of soft set (SS), m-polar fuzzy set (m-PFS) and 
      q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS). A q-RO-m-PFSS is a new approach towards 
      modelling uncertainties in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. 
      Some fundamental operations on q-RO-m-PFSSs, their key properties, and related 
      significant results are introduced. Additionally, the complexity of logistics and 
      supply chain management during COVID-19 is analysed using TOPSIS (technique for 
      ordering preference through the ideal solution) and GRA (grey relational 
      analysis) with the help of q-RO-m-PFS information. The linguistic terms are used 
      to express q-RO-m-PFS information in terms of numeric values. The proposed 
      approaches are worthy efficient in the selection of ventilator's manufacturers 
      for the patients suffering from epidemic disease named as COVID-19. A practical 
      application of proposed MCDM techniques is demonstrated by respective numerical 
      examples. The comparison analysis of the final ranking computed by proposed 
      techniques is also given to justify the feasibility, applicability and 
      reliability of these techniques.
