Designing Reverse Logistics Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

With growing environmental concern, many organizations have become aware of the importance of designing reverse logistics networks. Although lots of models have been developed to design reverse logistics, there still exist some drawbacks in these existing design models. This paper proposes a mixed integer linear programming model to study the reverse logistics networks, which seeks to minimize the total cost. The factors considered in the model include the cost of collection, disassembly and treatment, processing capacity, sales income from material fractions after disassembly, as well as recycling subsidy. finally, a few of issues requiring further research are highlighted.
