Modeling of Green Supply Chain Logistics

The green supply chain management has drawn researchers' attention in recent years, but most of the proposed models for green topics on the subject are case based, and for this reason, they lack generality. In this work, the design of a supply chain network is studied. In this chapter, we try to overcome this limitation and a generalized model is proposed, in which a logistics chain network problem is formulated into a 0-1 mixed integer linear programming model and the decisions for the function ofmanufactures, distribution centers, and dismantlers will be suggested with minimum cost. A numerical example is provided for illustration.
