Abstract
The life cycles for electric and electronic equipment get shorter every year. It results in a growing amount of waste which needs to be reused or disposed. Legislative regulations in number of countries oblige the producers to organize the recovery network. Configuration of the recovery network is a complex task due to the big number of relations between reverse supply chain participants. In practice the dynamic changes in recovery network appear very often. The recovery operations follow push logic. The reverse flows are supply driven. Companies have problems to stimulate the time and quantity of re- turns. It is difficult to make planning many weeks in advance because in dynamically changing conditions forecasts quickly become outdated. Authors proposed a model based on graph theory and agent technology that helps to solve this problem by dynamic configuration of reverse supply chains. The simulation results based on proposed model are discussed.
