Dizel partikül filtresi ürünlerinin yeniden üretime kazandırılması için ekonomik ve çevresel etmenleri dikkate alan bir ağ tasarımı

In recent years, an increasing number of companies are taking into account reverse logistic to recover their products for a second usage (recycling, remanufacturing, reuse). This is due to changes in legislation for environmental protection and to economic reasons. This study aims to design and develop a reverse logistic network system that contains remanufacturing processes for a heavy truck manufacturer. We will focus on the design of a reverse logistic system for trucks diesel particulate filter. The company distributes its diesel particulate filter (DPF) all over Europe. Nowadays, diesel particulate filter is destroyed at the end of its life. However, the valuable components and material which are parts of DPF are not completely degraded to be destroyed and it will be worthwhile to exploit again. For creating benefit from these valuable components, the company embraces two strategies: having a remanufacturing system and providing service for customer instead of the product itself. The study will begin by creating mathematical models from existing and available models of the Reverse Logistics Network in the literature. Besides, environmental effects of reverse logistic activities will be observed. The decision should be obtained whereby considering the balance between the installation costs and environmental impacts.
