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...

management model desirable to establish the life cycle of various commodities in different organizations is a closed-loop supply chain. in this paper, according to classic models in white and brown goods, a unified framework is used to implement in a military logistics company. it seems that using this model, improved lifecycle management, environmental conservation and improvement of services ...

A simple system dynamics model of a traditional/closed loop supply chain system is investigated. Particularly, the effect of remanufacture, remanufacturing lead-time and the return rate on the inventory variance and bullwhip effect were studied. Our results clearly showed that the bullwhip in the closed loop supply chain is bigger than one in traditional supply chain and foreign to the collecti...

In this work we propose a stochastic model for the design and planning of closed-loop supply chains. Uncertainties in demand and return volumes are modelled together with uncertain transportation costs. A two-stage stochastic programming is developed and a sensitivity analysis to the worst-case probability is performed in order to test the solution robustness. Finally, in order to prove the goo...

Supply chain management and closed-loop supply chain management (CLSCM) have developed into established concepts in recent years. The related material cycles and product returns form an important part of all related processes with high potential for reducing environmental burden. The paper proposes a framework for (environmentally triggered) closed-loop supply chain management, spanning three d...

In recent years, comprehensive researches have provided ample support for the supply chains in the coordinated decision-making framework. However, the issue of closed-loop supply chain coordination considering various transportation modes has not yet been addressed in the literature. In this paper, a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer is investigate...

Environmental consciousness has become critical in the design and operations management. In recent years, the sort of issues that have come to light and drawn the attention of managers has extended staggeringly. Sustainable development is a significant component of growing interest for managers who have to address with social and environmental issues related to the own company as well as their ...

High-salvage perishable products have the characteristics of a short life cycle and high residual value. To extract maximum value this kind product, closed-loop supply chain network model based on product is constructed under various uncertainties. This incorporates assumptions such as multiple products, periods, timeliness recycling, four-echelon including manufacturers, wholesalers, recycling...
