E-commerce based closed-loop supply chain for plastic recycling
The world is facing a grave plastic waste problem. It is not new that we hear about oceanic death and morbid landfills. Only 8% of all the plastic produced is recycled in the US. This grotesque situation has been worsened by the Chinese ban of plastic waste imports from the developed western …

A hybrid crow search-based method for solving the closed loop supply chain network design
… framework for large-scale facility location and Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design (CLSCND). The main contribution is a decomposition-based method that combines a Binary Crow Search Algorithm (BinCSA) with Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) exact refinement: BinCSA explores …

Forward thinking in reverse : design, implementation, and continuous monitoring of a closed-loop supply chain using optimization, simulation, and dashboard systems to maximize net recovery
… provider with one of the world's leading supply chains--we discuss a network flow-based mixed-integer linear program (MILP) model to identify the critical factors in optimizing reverse supply chain design decisions to optimize profit. The model is fast, intuitive, flexible, and robust to …

Product Returns in Closed Loop Demand Chains
… now driving the need to better manage returns. A closed loop supply chain is a supply chain that is designed to consider the acquisition and return flows of products, reuse activities, and the distribution of the recovered products. A ""demand chain"" focuses on what the customer wants and needs, …

Sustainable Closed-Loop Supply Chaing Network Design
Sustainable Closed Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) management is increasingly adopted by companies, due to increasing concerns for the environmental, legislative compliance, decreasing availability of raw materials, and customer demands for environmentally friendly products. Sustainable CLSC network …

Forecasting product returns and their impact on dynamic performance in closed-loop supply chains
… reverse logistics (RL) into their forward supply chain (SC). RL together with forward logistics consists of a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). This research aims to establish a systematic understanding of RL systems with a focus on product returns and their impacts on CLSC operations. In …

To investigate the influencing factors for sustainable packaging in a multinational SME supply chain
… sustainable packaging within an international, closed loop supply chain of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the food Industry. It is important to mention that two-thirds of all packaging is used in the food industry, and the close relationship between the food sector and packaging explains the …

Reverse logistics for consumer electronics : forecasting failures, managing inventory, and matching warranties
… a consumer electronic device. This system is a closed-loop supply chain since failed devices are refurbished and are kept in inventory to be used as replacement devices or are sold through a side-sales channel. Furthermore, managing inventory in this system is challenging due to the short …
