Sensivity analysis of recovery rate of multi-products reverse logistic supply chain design

Abstract

In the recent years, the reverse logistic supply chain has taken an important part in manufacturing systems. Due to the pressures from both environmental awareness and business sustainability, several companies must work in collaboration to solve partially the problem of waste recovery. The purpose of this work is to help those companies who would like to pursue reverse logistics as axe of profit. In this paper, we describe a design of two levels reverse logistic supply chain for multiclass of products in pseudo dynamic approach by considering the uncertain quantity of collected products. The model is formulated in MIP and solved by using Lingo12 solver. Since the assumption of investment should be progressive, an analysis by scenario is used to regard the recovery rate. Also, the capacity of each remanufacturing center is discussed.
