Abstract The distribution–allocation problem is known as one of the most comprehensive strategic decisions. In real-world cases, it impossible to solve a completely in acceptable time. This forces researchers develop efficient heuristic techniques for large-term operation whole supply chain. These provide near optimal solution and are comparably fast particularly large-scale test problems. pape...

This work investigates how bargaining power affects negotiations between manufacturers and reverse logistics providers in reverse supply chains under government intervention using a novel three-stage reverse supply chain model for two scenarios, a reverse logistics provider alliance and no reverse logistics provider alliance. Utilizing the asymmetric Nash bargaining game, this work seeks equili...

Today, the increased public concern about sustainable development and more stringent environmental regulations have become important driving forces for value recovery from end-of-life and end-of use products through reverse logistics. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains both valuable components that need to be recycled and hazardous substances that have to be properly trea...

The feasibility and desirability of reverse logistics in market-motivated contexts are examined in China. Interactions between the major barriers, that hinder or prevent the application of reverse logistics in China are analyzed. Management’s key task is to diagnose barriers to the application of reverse logistics that could be crucial to the organization’s future survival. Simultaneity, a valu...

The design of closed-loop logistics (forward and reverse logistics) has attracted growing attention with the stringent pressures of customer expectations, environmental concerns and economic factors. This paper considers a multi-product, multi-period and multi-objective closed-loop logistics network model with regard to facility expansion as a facility location–allocation problem, which more cl...

today, due to the direct and reverse logistics plays an important role in reducing the costs in supply chain. in this paper, in order to provide a closed-loop supply chain network including supply centers, production, distribution, collection, recycling and disposal of a used linear mixed integer programming. this paper to consider multi-period and multi-product in multi-level supply chain and ...

Progressively firms give more importance to management of processes of return that supposed excess inventories, customer returns, obsolete inventories and seasonal products ,that is to say, to the processes Reverse Logistics (Srivastava & Srivastava, 2006). So it increases the need for information flexibility because this one helps to reduce uncertainty of these processes (Koste & Malhotra, 199...

In the context of carbon neutrality, plastic ban, and green development, this paper aims to maximize comprehensive interest manufacturers in building a sustainable logistic network. It proposes reverse logistics network model dual-channel with multiple objectives random environment for construction recycling boxes projects uses Stackelberg game develop pricing strategies recyclers genetic algor...
