Abstract:

First a remanufacturing logistics network is con-structed, in which the structure of both the forward logistics and the reverse logistics are of two levels and all the logistics facilities are capacitated.Both the remanufacturing products and the new products can be used to meet the demands of customers.Moreover, it is assumed that homogeneous facilities can be designed together into integrated ones, based on which a mixed integer nonlinear programming(MINLP)facility location model of the remanufacturing logistics network with six types of facilities to be sited is built.Then an algorithm based on enumeration for the model is given.The feasible combinations of binary variables are searched by enumeration, and the remaining sub-problems are solved by the LP solver. Finally, the validities of the model and the algorithm are illustrated by means of an example.The result of the sensitivity analysis of parameters indicates that the integration of homogeneous facilities may influence the optimal solution of the problem to a certain degree.
