A dynamic integrated reverse/forward logistic network design with fuzzy demand: A case study of remanufacturing company

Today’s competitive business environment has resulted in increasing cooperation among companies as members of a network supply chain. Logistics network design is a major strategic issue due to its impact on the efficiency and responsiveness of the supply chain. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in reverse logistics due to environmental competition. In this study, the integration of forward and reverse logistics was investigated, and a dynamic model for the logistics planning of a remanufacturing company as a case study was proposed into an integer linear programming model.
