Track: Sustainable in SCM / Green Supply Chain
Abstract
Today, serious environmental problems arise with overconsumption. To obtain maximum benefit from the recycling activities depends on the effective and robust design of the disassembly lines. In addition to this, the distribution plan of products to be recycled is as important as the disassembly process. Therefore, it is important to handle these two problems simultaneously. This paper includes the integrated optimization of the disassembly line balancing problem and the multi-objective green vehicle routing problem for the first time. The integrated problem is formulated as a Multi-Objective Mixed Integer Linear Programming. The objectives of the model consist of minimization of total CO2 emission and minimization of the total cost. This proposed model could provide to decision makers flexible solutions for simultaneous optimization regarding environmental and economic aspect by considering potential situations that take into account in supply chain management and help to make strategic decisions as well.
