In this paper, developed a new multi-product, multi-period, and multi-level closed-loop green supply chain planning model under uncertain conditions. The formulated model consists of five objective functions, which minimize the cost of the supply chain, minimize the CO2 emission of transportation vehicles, maximize the reliability of manufacturing and distribution centers, maximize t...

In this paper, a bi-objective mixed-integer linear optimization model for Closed-loop Supply Chain Network Design Problem (CLSCND) is developed. The proposed model includes both the forward and reverse directions and includes different types of facilities, namely, manufacturing/remanufacturing centers, warehouses, and disassembly centers. The first objective function tried to minimize the total...

• Developed multi-objective optimisation model for sustainable CLSC network problem. Considered SCs complexity, price-sensitive demand and consumer’s incentives. Data collected from a leading European household appliance company was used. Evidenced the positive effects of incentive pricing on returned goods. Provided multiple trade-off solutions decision makers. Closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs...

The outbreak of the deadly coronavirus, which is increasing number victims every day, has created many changes in today’s world. use various masks most important social tool against this virus. Given importance rapid and quality supply current situation, it necessary to study chain particular. In research, design a closed network for different types assessed. studied includes suppliers, manufac...

Sustainable manufacturing is gaining more and more interest from companies and researchers. In this talk, we will show how such a systems view is needed to identify the correct focal areas. We will use examples from automotive engineering where we quantified environmental loadings to demonstrate where new research and development should take place to achieve higher reductions in environmental i...

The development of optimization and mathematical models for closed loop supply chain (CLSC) design has attracted considerable interest over the past decades. However, the uncertainties that are inherent in the network design and the complex interactions among various uncertain parameters are challenging the capabilities of the developed tools. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to propose a n...

At the strategic level, closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management involves long-term decisions regarding the location and capacity allocation of forward/reverse logistics facilities, the assignment of products to facilities, and the distribution of products between facilities and their end users or suppliers. Both demand and return handling must be taken into account, and the overall problem b...

and was a visiting professor at the Copenhagen Business School. He hold a PhD and habilitation from the Carl von Ossietzky-University of Oldenburg, Germany. He has published widely on sustainability and supply chain management. Abstract: More than 300 papers have been published in the last 15 years on the topic of green or sustainable (forward) supply chains. Looking at the research methodologi...
