Planning model in reverse logistic

Abstract

The reverse logistic activities consist to import used manufacturing systems, and reuse them for further production periods. In this paper we present a general framework for a remanufacturing system. The process of remanufacturing is treated as a source of raw material acquisition. We propose a multi criteria method to find out the number of parts to be processed at each remanufacturing facilities and the number of purchased parts taking into account the goals of decision maker. The proposed mathematical goal programming model is validated through numerical analysis.
