Today, there is a high number of injuries and various wastes and debris produced during natural and unnatural events. This study aims to investigate the reverse logistics planning problem in the response and reaction phases as well as improvement and reconstruction in earthquake conditions by using a real case study. Regarding the high complexity of this type of optimization problem, a multi-ob...

abstractaccidents and natural disasters and crises coming out of them indicate the importance of an integrated planning to reduce their effected. therefore, disaster relief logistics is one of the main activities in disaster management. in this paper, we study the response phase of the disaster management cycle and a bi-objective model has been developed for relief chain logistic in uncertainty...

With development of technology and science and continuous increase in productivity, product life cycles are shortened and customer demands are more personalized and diversified, which makes companies face with ever changing and unpredictable competitive environment. Therefore, rapid response to market competition has become one of the main focuses and the competitive advantages. Today, one of t...

The low-carbon economy, as a major trend of global economic development, has been widespread concern, which is rare opportunity to realize the transformation way in China. realization economy requires improved resource utilization efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. reasonable location logistics nodes great significance optimization network. This study formulates double objective function ...

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...
