Reverse logistics has gained increasing attention in recent years as a channel for companies to achieve operational excellence. The process involves manipulation of returned materials, or even products, which forms a pivotal role in sustainable development throughout the whole supply chains. To make reverse logistics possible, process re-engineering may need to be carried out. However, the proc...

Green supply chain management (GrSCM) has its roots in supply chain management (SCM) and environmental management. In fact, adding ‘‘green’’ concept into traditional SCM leads to studying environmental impact of SCMrelated processes. Logistics activities which form the main part of SCM-related processes belong to the most influential sources of environmental pollution and greenhouse emissions w...

Logistics processes of perishable food in the supply chain include the distribution activities and the real time temperature monitoring to fulfil the cold chain requirements. The paper presents the use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology as an identification tool of receiving and shipping activities in the cold store. At the same time, the use of RFID data loggers with temperatu...

In this paper, a bi-objective pharmaceutical supply chain network under uncertainty demand and transportation costs is modeled and developed. To control the uncertainty parameters, the robust optimization method is considering. The main objective of this paper determines the number and location of potential facilities such as drug manufacture centers and drug distribution centers by considering...

In order to reduce the loss in the circulation of agricultural products, and to reduce the total cost, this article minimizes the operation cost by establishing an objective function when designing the cold chain logistics distribution network. Considering the characteristics of the cold chain products, this paper regards construction cost of network nodes, transportation cost and damage cost a...

Reverse logistics (RL) and closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) have recently received enormous attention due to growing environmental concerns and legislations coupled with the lucrative business potential. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a closed-loop supply chain network design model capable of recovering glass containers. A multi-period multi-product mixed-integer linear programmin...

Fresh products have the characteristics of perishable, small batch and high frequency. Therefore, for fresh food e-commerce enterprises, market demand forecasting is particularly important. This paper takes sales data a enterprise as logistics demand, analyzes influence time meteorological factors on extracts characteristic with greater influence, proposes forecast scheme based Bi-LSTM model. T...

The performance of a supply chain depends critically on the coordinating actions and decisions undertaken by the trading partners. The sharing of product and process information plays a central role in the coordination and is a key driver for the success of the supply chain. In this paper we propose the concept of “Linked pedigrees” linked datasets, that enable the sharing of traceability infor...
