The increased awareness of environmental sustainability has led to increasing attention closed loop supply chains (CLSC). main objective the CLSC is capture values from end-of-life (EOL) products in a way that ensures business be economically and environmentally sustainable. challenge complexity occurrs due closing loop. At same time, considering stochastic variables will increase realism obtai...

This paper consider optimization decision-making of closed-loop supply chain based on revenue sharing contract and prospect theory, and study the effect of lose aversion on the performance of closed-loop supply chain. We establish a decision-making model for the closed-loop supply chain which consists a loss averse retailer and a loss averse manufacturer. Through the analysis of this model unde...

Unlike commonly used methods, in this paper, we have introduced a new approach for designing fuzzy controllers. In this approach, we have simultaneously optimized both objective functions of a supply chain over a two-dimensional space. Then, we have obtained a spectrum of optimized points, each of which represents a set of optimal parameters which can be chosen by the manager ...

In this research, a bi-objective model is developed to deal with a supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple manufacturers, and multiple customers, addressing a multi-site, multi-period, multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem. This bi-objective model aims to minimize the total cost of supply chain including inventory costs, manufacturing costs, work force costs, hir...

in today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. this paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. it is assumed that all transportations a...

inventory control is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. in this paper, a three-echelon production, distribution, inventory system composed of one producer, a set of wholesalers and retailers is considered. costumers' demands can be approximated by a normal distribution and the inventory policy is a kind of continuous review (r, q). in this paper, a model based on ...

supplier selection is one of the most important activities of purchasing departments. this importance is increased even more by new strategies in a supply chain, because of the key role suppliers perform in terms of quality, costs and services which affect the outcome in the buyer’s company. supplier selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem in which the objectives are not equall...

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...
