Reverse logistics is an important process that is often misunderstood. Many organizations do not understand what processes and procedures to follow and how to manage reverse logistics efficiently. Though studies have shown the positive impacts of adoption of various reverse logistics practices, the researcher found no research works that specifically shown how adoption of reverse logistics prac...

Purpose: Combined the current situation with the development trend of reverse logistics, the article focus on the research of Internet of Things application in the reverse logistics information management, starts with the study of reverse logistics information system, and describes the system structure and system process in applying Internet of Things in reverse logistics information management...

The purpose of this research is to present a new mathematical modeling for a vehicle routing problem considering concurrently the criteria such as distance, weight, traffic considerations, time window limitation, and heterogeneous vehicles in the reverse logistics network for collection of expired products. In addition, we aim to present an efficient solution approach according to differential ...

design of a logistics network in proper way provides a proper platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. this paper studies a multi-period, multi echelon and multi-product integrated forward-reverse logistics network under uncertainty. first, an efficient complex mixed-integer linear programming (milp) model by considering some real-world assumptions is developed for the inte...

Abstract Logistics distribution is a collection of interrelated organizations and facilities. There waste cost time in many links. Therefore, it particularly important to use information technology improve efficiency. Under the constraints delivery vehicle time, this paper proposes an improved genetic simulated annealing algorithm (SAGA), which combines global search ability (GA) (SA) with stro...

Logistics network design is a major strategic issue due to its impact on the efficiency and responsiveness of the supply chain. This paper proposes a model for integrated logistics network design to avoid the sub-optimality caused by a separate, sequential design of forward and reverse logistics networks. First, a bi-objective mixed integer programming formulation is developed to minimize the t...

As nowadays’ forward logistics of automobile industry have been developed in a good stage, according to various car manufacturers; third-party logistics companies are more concerned about the car forward logistics. However, with the mature of automotive consumer market competition, innovation and the rise of global environmental awareness, the car reverse logistics must be given due attention a...

Remanufacturing has gained great recognition in recent years due to its economic and environmental benefits effectiveness the value retention of waste products. Many studies on reverse logistics have considered remanufacturing as a key node for network optimization, but few literature reviews explicitly mentioned main feature their analysis. The aim this review is bridge gap. In total, 125 pape...
