Reverse logistics network design and a mixed integer programming model for accumulator recycling system

At the present time the concept of reverse logistics which is ever increasingly frequently used due to the entegration of environmental regulations and laws stands for the efforts to retake the value of the goods returned from the customer by collecting, storing, deleverint to the producer and recordingly by remanufacturing. Reverse logistics includes activities remanufacturing, reuse, cannibalization and rcycle etc. Recycle which is most interested issue in these activities is the effort of completely lost the characteristics of a product to turn into a different feature. Nowadays the importance of recycling activities under consideration in this thesis has been taken up recycling network design issue. A mixed integer programming model with multi-product aiming at minimazing the cost for accumulator recycling system is developed and the real system tried to modelling. The system were expressed two different models which to address recycle and the types of vehicle, the results which are obtained by solving each of the two models is evaluated and network design with these features recomendations were made.
