The urge to remanufacture and address environmental concerns in various industrial processes has drawn the attention of academics as well practitioners towards Closed-loop Supply Chain Networks (CLSC). Although everchanging complex external factors including social economic ones, adversely impact sustainable development closed-loop supply chain networks. basic aim research is optimize functioni...

In this paper, a sustainable closed-loop supply chain problem is modelled in conditions of uncertainty. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, designed network seeks deliver medical equipment hospitals on time within defined window prevent overcrowding and virus transmission. order achieve suitable model for designing network, important decisions such as locating potential facilities, optimal ...

In this study, we present a multiobjective mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model to design closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) from production stage distribution as well recycling for reproduction. The given network includes centers, potential points establishing of retrieval collecting and the demand points. presented seeks find optimal locations second-hand product collection centers ...

Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management has evolved to be a mature area of supply chain management in its own right. Guide and Van Wassenhove (2009) describe how this research began with focusing on tactical and operational issues such as the disassembly of products or shop-floor control and coordination, and later started addressing issues pertaining to the entire reverse supply chain such ...

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...

This paper studies coordination and competition issues in a closed-loop supply chain. The supply chain consists of two competing manufacturers who collect the used-product for remanufacturing through a common retailer. We obtain the optimal wholesale prices, and the optimal fraction of collection for the two cases: case1 (uncoordinated system) and case2 (channel-coordinated system). Furthermore...

We analyze a network design problem for a closed-loop supply chain that integrates the collection of the used products with the distribution of the new products. We present a mixed integer nonlinear facility location-inventory-pricing model to decide on the optimal locations of the facilities, inventory amounts, prices for new products and incentive values for the collection of right amount of ...
