The main findings of...
In this paper we present a two-echelon facility location problem with stochastic demands for the introduction of consolidation centers in the construction supply chain in urban areas. We describe the state of the art and propose a 2-stage model solved with L-shaped algorithms where several novel features are treated all together. The study is part of simulations performed during the European project...
The work presented in this paper is the modeling of an information system supporting all activities of the reverse logistics(RL). In order to gather knowledge about the current state of the art on this topic, a literature review is established for the available research works which are classified using a suitable criteria. Based on this review, our work consist of developing an information system...
The main research content of this paper is the optimal pricing strategy of the enterprise under the e-commerce environment, based on the analysis of factors affecting consumers' purchase and return behavior, with the goal of maximizing the profit of enterprise, this paper concluded the optimal price that consumers can accept. Then, we established the mathematical model based on the sellers' profits,...
Reverse logistics is an activity associated with a product/service after the point of sale, the ultimate goal to optimize or make more efficient aftermarket activity. Enterprises that have implemented reverse logistics have been able to enhance consumer service and response times, minimize environmental influences by minimizing waste and enhance complete corporate citizenship. In this connection,...
In order to achieve the win-win, the coordination and cooperation between members of closed-loop supply chain become an important task of supply chain management research. Based on game theory, with the impact of TPL service level, pricing and benefit distribution of three-stage closed-loop supply chain system are analyzed. The results show that: 1) the gross benefit of the closed-loop supply chain...
This research developed a mixed-integer mathematical model for a generic closed-loop supply chain network design (SCND), optimizing all three inherent dimensions of sustainability, namely, cost, environmental, and social impact, simultaneously. The proposed novel hybrid model is designed for a single period and takes into account some real-life characteristics of SC implementation such as multi-echelons,...
In this article we analyze quantitatively the gains of coordination in a closed loop supply chain context for different levels of uncertainty about returns. The novel characteristic of this study is to evaluate quantitatively the value of coordination for operational decisions (in the context of inventory management decisions). Thus, we find it interesting to verify its validity in the reverse logistics...
Simulation has gained importance in the consumer electronics After Market Service (AMS) industry, due tofactors such as uncertainty in product returns, stochastic processing times, and unknown or hard-to-predict product demand. Remanufacturing and refurbishing systems may not be analyzed using closed-form expressions due to the complexity caused by above-mentioned factors. In this paper, a detailed...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices on triple bottom line (TBL) measures. Fuzzy AHP is employed to reveal a relative weight of importance of each GSCM practice on TBL measures, based on inputs from twenty experts from electronic parts and component manufacturing industry. Furthermore, this study provides prioritization of enabling...

The reverse supply chain in our study consists of the disassembly centre and the collector. In this paper, we study the contract of the reverse supply chain with risk-neutral collector and risk-averse disassembly centre. Furthermore, we compare the contract with other two contracts given by our previous research: contract of risk-neutral collector and risk-neutral disassembly centre, and contract...
Due to the significant growth in manufacturing environment disruptions and customer demand variability, logistics services have concurrently witnessed a disturbing increase in customer returns as part of the reverse logistics system. This paper proposes the use of the Vanguard Method approach for logistics services design that can reduce reverse logistics caused by forward logistics inefficiencies...
Environmental issues and governmental regulations have pushed companies to be more environmentally conscious and socially responsible. Sustainable production plays an important role in the global markets and companies practicing sustainable manufacturing processes for protecting the environment can increase their competitiveness. Reverse logistics is one of the sustainable approaches, which returns...
Adoption of reverse logistics practices in existing supply chains has emerged as an important incentive for manufacturers to gain financial and competitive advantage. Growing environmental and social concerns are driving firms to incorporate sustainable strategies into designing of their reverse supply chain (RSC) network. A sustainable RSC can be attained by following the triple bottom line (TBL)...
Environmental impact has become a key issue in business management. Nowadays, the optimal design of supply chains has to deal with green management practices. Among the different components of the green supply chain management, reverse logistics play a crucial role. This paper studies the problem of designing a closed-loop reverse supply chain network. Since the problem in NP-hard, a solution approach...
Modern economic activities rely on logistics to support the flow of goods, but the logistics activities consume a lot of resources, and cause much pollution. Green logistics is therefore an inevitable trend in the development of the logistics industry and can even minimize the logistic costs. One of the top Taiwan manufacturers of TFT-LCD panels in the world with a market share of 15.2% in large-sized...
For a long time, the research concerning returned products has focused on multiples issues. It was not until the early nineties that Reverse Logistics (RL) has captured the academic attention. RL commonly refers to the backward movement of materials in the supply chain. In order to cover all these aspects of RL we propose an integrated Decision Support System (DSS) which can ease products and shipping...
The configuration of the reverse logistics network (RLN) is an important task in the determination of processing recovered products. In fact, products orientation in open loop network can influence the economic interest of decision maker. In open loop configuration, returned products are reintegrated in the supply chain with multiple recovery strategy to reuse the products or materials. The decision...
Background: The aim of this study is to identify and define on the basis of the literature the principal external and organizational factors and check to what extent they affect the efficiency of returns management as well as any resultant savings. The author proposes a conceptual model which correlates the results of returns management as well as savings with the main determinants identified on the...
