Multi-Level Competitive Closed Loop Supply Chain Network Design: A Comparative Analysis

Limited natural resources and unconscious consumption have led to a substantial increase in the rate of processing waste material instead raw materials recent years changed dynamics Supply Chain Management (SCM) by making industrial environment more competitive. The interest Closed Loop (CLSC) design optimization is increased with great care being taken reverse logistics order respond customer pressures as well environmental concerns associated increasing number end-of-life products. CLSC has extensive literature many models been developed optimize supply chain costs. Most deals single chains ignores existing competing chains. However, today's competitive markets, are integrated each other several companies work together gain market share. In such an environment, there different forms competition within between this context, paper addresses problem distribution networks multi-level management consisting two producers, collection & recycling center customers trying improve sustainable willingness return used products some incentives for product recovery. reach consensus solution decision makers who purpose management, four Interactive Fuzzy Programming (IFP) approaches results analyzed.
