Reverse Logistics Network Design for End of Life Computer in Malaysia

Abstract:

Thousand Millions of e-waste generated annually over the world. In 2012 289.32 metrics kilotones of e-waste generated in Malaysia. A good reverse logistics network design is needed to support the product recovery process in order to reduce waste disposal and landfill. This paper propose a mathematical model to examine if the reverse logistics of each state on Malaysia can be sustain with the profit made from resell of refurbished computers and components to cover the cost of overall system. In the case study we examine the model in each state of Malaysia with the information of Malaysia Census 2010 to determine if any such facility can be establish. The research will recommend reverse logistics approach appropriate to Malaysia.
