Abstract

Due to growing environmental concerns, a large number of companies and organizations in the world give importance to reverse logistics and remanufacturing. Remanufacturing which aims is to take care of used or damaged product in the purpose of returning it like new product, lead many researchers to study the integration of this reverse flow in the process of the forward supply chain. The resulting models are difficult and complex to solve and optimize, hence the need to integrate a strong and efficient method such as Metaheuristics to solve those complex optimization problems. The purpose of this study is to review the published literature on the issues of reverse logistics and remanufacturing, and classified these papers by the type of metaheuristic used. Also, it aims to outline some future opportunities for research based on research gap analysis.
