In the last few years, inventory modeling with reverse logistics has received more attention from both academic world and industries. Most of existing works in literature believed that newly produced products remanufactured have same quality. However, many industries, customers do not consider as good new ones. Therefore, this study develops a model multiple production remanufacturing batches (...

A reverse logistics system is a network of transportation logistics and processing functions that collect, consolidate, refurbish, and demanufacture end-of-life products. This paper examines centralized and decentralized models of decision-making for material flows and associated transaction prices in reverse logistics networks. We compare the application of a centralized model for planning rev...

Reverse logistics (RL) is closely related to remanufacturing and could have a profound impact on the industry. Different from sustainable development which focused economy, environment society, circular economy (CE) puts forward more requirements circularity resource efficiency of manufacturing In order select best reverse provider for remanufacturing, multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) metho...

Reverse logistics activities have received increasing attention within logistics and operations management during the last years, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. The field of reverse logistics includes all logistics processes starting with the take-back of used products from customers up to the stage of making them reusable products or disposing them. In this paper, a sin...

The contradiction between economic development and environmental deterioration makes people begin to have a further understanding of the ecology and environment. To promote effective development of reverse logistics and implementation, according to general activity process of manufacturing enterprises, this paper builds the manufacturing system model of reverse logistics. On the basis of activi...

Abstract With the development and advancement of reverse logistics concepts and practice, the evaluation and selection of vendors or partners for the specific function of reverse logistics support becomes more important. The factors that play an important role in selecting a third-party reverse logistics provider are different than the factors for selecting a forward provider. These factors are...

This study presents a cost-minimization model for a multi-time-step, multi-type hazardous-waste reverse logistics system. A discrete-time linear analytical model is formulated that minimizes total reverse logistics operating costs subject to constraints that take into account such internal and external factors as business operating strategies and governmental regulations. Application cases are ...
