Facility Location Model for Reverse Logistics
This paper presents a study that characterizes, formulates, and solves the reverse logistic network design. A Mixed Linear Program model is formulated that systematically minimizes reverse logistics operating costs for the strategic problem facility location of collection sites, cannibalization and recycling. The facility location is a central issue of the logistics networks. In this paper we a...
متن کاملGIS and Optimisation: Potential Benefits for Emergency Facility Location in Humanitarian Logistics
Floods are one of the most dangerous and common disasters worldwide, and these disasters are closely linked to the geography of the affected area. As a result, several papers in the academic field of humanitarian logistics have incorporated the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for disaster management. However, most of the contributions in the literature are using these systems for ...
متن کاملMulti-objective optimisation of facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The objective of the model is to minimize establishment, transportation and inventory management costs and simultaneously maximize customer satisfaction with sustainable perspective...
متن کاملIntegrating facility location and production planning decisions
Weconsider ametric uncapacitated facility locationproblem where we must assign each customer to a facility and meet the demand of the customer in future time periods through production and inventory decisions at the facility. We show that the problem, in general, is as hard to approximate as the set cover problem. We therefore focus on developing approximation algorithms for special cases of th...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Logistics Hubs and a Conceptual Framework for Logistics Hubs Location Decisions
Hubs are special centers that used for switching, transferring and handling freight or passengers in transportation systems. The hub location problem deals with locating hub facilities and allocating demand nodes to hubs in order to route the traffic between origin–destination pairs. Aiming at minimizing the total costs, maximizing utilization of transporters, maximizing the service level, etc....
