Abstract:

Reverse logistics networks are designed and implemented by companies to collect products at the end of their useful life from end users in order to remanufacture products or properly recycle materials. In this paper, we present a simulation framework for comparing alternative reverse logistic network configurations based on productivity and sustainability performance metrics. The resulting decision support tool enables the evaluation of user specified system and experimental parameters. An overview of the simulation framework is provided along with an example that illustrates the capabilities and functionality of the tool.
