The rapid technological development of new products, coupled with
the growing consumer desire for the latest technology, has led to a
new environmental problem: products that are discarded prematurely.
But behind every problem lies an opportunity. Many of these
products can be reprocessed, leading to savings in natural
resources, energy, landfill space, and ultimately, time and money.
Strategic Planning Models for Reverse and Closed-Loop Supply Chains
addresses complex issues caused by the inherent uncertainty
involved in every stage of a closed-loop supply chain. The book
presents quantitative models for the many multifaceted issues faced
by strategic planners of reverse and closed-loop supply chains amid
the challenges of uncertainty in supply rate of used products,
unknown condition of used products, and imperfect correlation
between supply of used products and demand for reprocessed goods.
The models proposed in this book provide understanding of how a
particular issue can be effectively approached in a particular
decision-making situation using a suitable quantitative technique
or suitable combination of two or more quantitative techniques.
This information then translates into decision-making strategies
and guidance for reverse and closed-loop supply chain management.
