Abstract:

A multi-product model for the design of global supply chains with reverse flows is proposed. Two levels of decisions are considered, one strategic and one tactical. The first is modelled through a macro perspective of time where the determination of the network structure and flows is accomplished. At tactical level, a micro perspective of time is considered, where production planning and inventory management are addressed in detail. A mixed integer linear programming formulation is developed which is solved with standard Branch and Bound techniques. The model accuracy and suitability are studied using a case study.
