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...

The rapid advancements of Information Communications Technology (ICT) are leading to extreme improvements in computing power and to the design and development of innovative products and new improved versions of the existing ones. As a result, ICT products become obsolete more quickly and in increased quantities resulting to ever-increasing waste of electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste)....

Abstract Over the course of last decades, closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) and reverse logistics issues have attracted increasing attention owing to strict environmental laws, social responsibilities, economic interests, customer awareness. Hence, issue chain has emerged as a field research in new era. This received much because it allows recyclable products return their original cycle. Therefo...

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...
