Supply Chain Arrangements in Recovery Network

In the computer industry product’s life cycles are getting shorter every year, resulting in increasing number of used products that need to be recycled or reused. In order to gain the advantages of “two-way” economy a change in business approach is needed. Configuration of the recovery network is a complex task due to the big number of relations between reverse supply chain participants. In practice, planning product renewal many weeks in advance is hardly effective as in dynamically changing conditions forecasts quickly become outdated. Authors proposed a model based on graph theory and agent technology that helps to solve this problem by dynamic configuration of supply chains. The simulation results based on proposed model are presented
