End-of-life Vehicle Recycling in the Republic of Serbia: Interval Linear Programming Model for Long-term Planning under Uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are considered as a burning environmental issue, since this kind of waste contains many precious metals. Recycling and reuse of ELV parts and components, and metal recovery are important to governments, manufacturers, suppliers, dismantlers and vehicle recycling factories worldwide. Current, not so bright, situation in the Republic of Serbia regarding the recycling of ELVs and a noticeable tendency towards creation of economically sustainable recycling system represent major motives for projection and modeling of vehicle recycling system that would be the most cost-effective and eco-efficient in the long run. In this paper, interval linear programming (ILP) approach is used to formulate model for optimal long-term planning in the Serbian vehicle recycling factories under uncertainty. Presented ILP model is valuable for supporting the construction and/or modernization process of vehicle recycling system in the Republic of Serbia.

A Chance Constrained Integer Programming Model for Open Pit Long-Term Production Planning
The mine production planning defines a sequence of block extraction to obtain the highest NPV under a number of constraints. Mathematical programming has become a widespread approach to optimize production planning, for open pit mines since the 1960s. However, the previous and existing models are found to be limited in their ability to explicitly incorporate the ore grade uncertainty into the p...
