We use optimal control theory to determine the manufacturing, remanufacturing, and disposal rates in a closed-loop supply chain. The returned items are of different quality levels. firm grades according their quality. Each class is remanufactured stocked separately. Also, all subject deterioration rate depends on class. Finally, each sold segment customers. An illustrative example presented alo...

closed-loop supply chain network (clscn) design aims at incorporating environmental considerations into the traditional supply chain design by including recycling, disassembly and reuse activities. in a clscn, the environmental considerations can also be facilitated by resorting to environmentally friendly materials and enhancing product reuse through the design of an appropriate product recove...

Nowadays, enterprises have to be good for society, take care of the environment, and achieve profit at same time. And closed-loop supply chain helps them being so. However, there is a lack bibliometric visualization research in area “Closed-Loop Supply Chain”. Thus, this aims present overview define current state scientific production regarding The review 807 publications from Scopus database (...

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 ...

The paper investigates interactions in a two-period closed-loop supply chain consisting of a single manufacturer and a single remanufacturer. In the context of recycling and remanufacturing by the remanufacturer, the manufacturer and remanufacturer choose different production strategies. By comparing the costs, profits and equilibrium quantity of supply chain members in decentralized and centra...

In the current design of reverse supply chain, several performance indicators must be considered and treated attentively. At this strategic level of the conception and to ensure a sustainable closed loop green supply chain, many qualitative as well quantitative criteria are taken into consideration with an environmental respect. Since the location allocation study persists as one of the most im...
