Abstract

The reuse of end-of-use products is always an important issue. To optimize the closed-loop logistics system for reusing end-of-use products, an integrated optimization model for stochastic dynamic location-routing-inventory problem is presented in this paper. A two-phase heuristic algorithm is also proposed to solve the model. And the validity of the model and algorithm is demonstrated by an example.
