Green reverse logistics network design for medical waste management: A circular economy transition through case approach

An Ant Colony approach to forward-reverse logistics network design under demand certainty

Forward-reverse logistics network has remained a subject of intensive research over the past few years. It is of significant importance to be issued in a supply chain because it affects responsiveness of supply chains. In real world, problems are needed to be formulated. These problems usually involve objectives such as cost, quality, and customers' responsiveness and so on. To this reason, we ...

Green and Reverse Logistics Management Under Fuzziness

Green supply chain management (GrSCM) has its roots in supply chain management (SCM) and environmental management. In fact, adding ‘‘green’’ concept into traditional SCM leads to studying environmental impact of SCMrelated processes. Logistics activities which form the main part of SCM-related processes belong to the most influential sources of environmental pollution and greenhouse emissions w...

Green Logistics Network Design: A Critical Review

This paper critically reviews research conducted from 1999-2013 on Green Logistics Network Design (GrLND). Basic features like decision variables, network structure, type of optimization techniques preferred, components of objective functions considered across various industries to improve their environmental performance has been identified. Finally, potential gaps for future studies are highli...

A Complex Design of the Integrated Forward-Reverse Logistics Network under Uncertainty

Design of a logistics network in proper way provides a proper platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. This paper studies a multi-period, multi echelon and multi-product integrated forward-reverse logistics network under uncertainty. First, an efficient complex mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model by considering some real-world assumptions is developed for the inte...
