Abstract:

A general model for the design and planning of closed-loop supply chains is proposed. The model is both strategic and tactical in nature, containing two levels of decisions: the location of facilities and the planning of production, storage and distribution. Its mathematical formulation is solved using a standard Branch and Bound technique. The model applicability and accuracy are studied on a modified version of an already published case study.
