Abstract Product recovery is an important business because of its great economic, social, and environmental benefits in practice. In this paper, a location-inventory problem (LIP) closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) investigated to optimize facility location inventory control decisions by considering product recovery. The objective minimize the total cost operations system. We formulate as mixed-in...

In recent years, sustainability concept has been introduced to many fields including management, technology, and supply chain (SC). The most accepted definition for Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) would be one where all consumer products are created, used, and recycled or disposed of in the Closed loop Method. Closed Loop Supply Chain Management (CLSCM) refers to all forward Logistic...

The inventory and total cost control strategy are the core issue in all supply chains. When a chain includes parameter uncertainty, dual-channel process innovation for remanufacturing (PIR), system is complex so that its stability can’t be guaranteed easily. Therefore, how to manage uncertain closed-loop (CLSC) with PIR big challenge. CLSC studied this article. First of all, mathematical model ...

This paper addresses a multi-period capacitated closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network design problem subject to uncertainties in the demands and returns as well as the potential carbon emission regulations. Two promising regulatory policy settings are considered: namely, (a) a carbon cap and trade system, or (b) a tax on the amount of carbon emissions. A traditional CLSC network design model ...

With the development of the global economy, the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are getting larger and larger, which brings more and more serious environmental problems to nature that already has great pressure. The traditional enterprise development usually takes the cost minimization and the profit maximization as the enterprise management goal, at the expense of the env...
