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...

The aim of lot sizing problems is to determine the periods where production takes place and the quantities to be produced in order to satisfy the customer demand while minimizing the total cost. Due to its importance on the efficiency of the production and inventory systems, Lot sizing problems are one of the most challenging production planning problems and have been studied for many years wit...

Many companies face challenges in reducing their supply chain costs while increasing sustainability and customer service levels. A comprehensive framework for a sustainable closed-loop (CLSC) network is practical solution to these challenges. Hence, the first time, this study considers an integrated multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MOMILP) model design CLSC networks with cross-...

In this paper, a novel chance-constrained programming model has been proposed for handling uncertainties in green closed loop supply chain network design. addition to locating the facilities and establishing flow between them, also determines transportation mode facilities. The objective functions are applied minimize expected value variance of total cost CO 2 released is controlled by providin...

This paper presented an application of Fuzzy mathematical programming model to solve network design problems for supply chains via considering aggregate production planning (APP). APP goals to minimize all costs through optimal levels of production, subcontracting, inventory, backorder and work levels over a time period to meet the demand. Fuzzy logic was applied to solve the uncertain producti...

logistic network design is one of the most important strategic decisions in supply chain management that has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. transportation network design is then one of the most important fields of logistic network. this study is concerned with designing a multi-stage and multi-product logistic network. at first, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model...

Governments and customers are forcing the paper manufacturers to become more sustainable. Accordingly, there still exists a gap in the quantitative modeling of these issues. In this paper, this gap is covered through simultaneously considering economical, environmental and social impacts in the paper closed-loop supply chain network design. The proposed multi-objective, multi-echelon, multi-pro...

Supply chain management is essential for the success of firms and customer satisfaction. In addition, a suitable performance evaluation system is vital to the effective management of the supply chain. Due to the importance of cost management in the supply chain, an approach based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is proposed in the current study for evaluating the cost efficiency of closed-loo...
