Integrated Forward and Reverse Supply Chain: A Tire Case Study

Abstract:

This paper attempts to integer both forward and reverse supply chain to design closed-loop supply chain network (CLSC). The problem in design of CLSC network is uncertainty in demand, return products and also the quality of return products. Scenario analysis are generated to overcome with uncertainty. A mixed integer linear model is developed for a CLSC network design. The main objective is to maximize the profit and provide waste management decision support in order to minimize pollution.
