Collection–disassembly problem in reverse supply chain
Abstract
The reverse supply chain and disassembly processes are getting more and more important for tackling the burden of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The disassembly's complexity and frequently manual operation makes this process relatively expensive compared to its potential profit. The collection of End-of-Life product is also a big issue dealing with vehicle routing. Thus, the decisions taken for collection and disassembly of End–of–Life products need to be optimized. In this work, an optimisation model is developed for incorporating these problems. Our experimental study shows joint optimization of collection and disassembly with coordination between them improves the global performance of the reverse supply chain including lower total cost corresponding to the component demand satisfaction.
