Research on Optimizing Reverse Logistics Network of Waste Copper Recycling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on third-party logistics, we propose a linear programming mathematic model for reverse logistics networks of waste copper recycling. And, a reverse logistics network models is established to deal with returned products, which will decrease costs and allow optimal decisions on distributing methods so as to increase efficiency and profit levels. A case study is also developed to illustrating the value of this model and network. Whats more, according to the model, we put forward to sincere suggestions and better measures of copper scrap recycling.
