A location-routing-inventory problem for a perishable product in a sustainable closed-loop supply chain with multi-compartment vehicles abstract

While remaining unsold products that some of them are expired because of passing the shelf life, a retailer s depot is against the sustainable development rules. This study tries to solve a location-routing-inventory problem to designate an efficient sustainable closed-loop supply chain.

The main objectives of this study are to minimize network operational costs and environmental side-effects of implementing a network while maximizing the satisfaction degree of the customers, personnel, and society.
