Improving the Decision-making of Reverse Logistics Network Design Part I: A MILP Model under Stochastic Environment
(Peer reviewed; Bokkapittel; Book; Bok; Chapter, 2018-02-11)
The study of the network design problems related to reverse supply chain and reverse logistics is of great interest for both academicians and practitioners due to its important role for a sustainable society. However, reverse logistics network design is a complex decision-making problem that involves several interactive factors and faces many uncertainties. Thus, in order to improve the reverse ...
Improving the Decision-making of Reverse Logistics Network Design Part II: An Improved Scenario-based Solution Method and Numerical Experimentation
(Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018-02-11)

A Trade-off Model for Green Supply Chain Design: An Efficiency-versus-Emission Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018-04-09)
—With the growing concern of climate change and global warming, the reduction on carbon emissions of supply chain activities have been increasingly focused by both academics and corporates in the last two decades. The increased public awareness on sustainability and stricter environmental policies together enforce the companies to rethink their practices in supply chain design and operations in an ...
Location-based analysis and optimization of service network performance: A case study
(Peer reviewed; Book; Chapter, 2018-05-07)
The location problem of service network has been extensively focused by researchers in operational research due to the difficulty in balancing the level of service and efficiency. On the one hand, installing a large number of service facilities within the service network improves availability and responsiveness to customer demands, but it also increases the investment and operating cost. While on ...
Optimization models and methods for sustainable reverse logistics network design
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-11-29)
With the increased focus on sustainable development and circular economy, as never before, the value recovery and re-creation from the End-of-Use and End-of-Life products has been paid considerable attention by the whole society. Reverse logistics is believed as one of the most effective and promising means for the value recovery of the End-of-Use and End-of-Life products, which is the process for ...
A Comparison of Two Location Models in Optimizing the Decision-making on the Relocation Problem of Post Offices at Narvik, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Book; Chapter, 2018)
Since 2013, the postal service provider in Norway: Posten has implemented a new strategic plan to close their large post offices across the country for improving the cost and operational efficiency. Instead, with the cooperation with large retailers, the local postal service is provided at the Posten sub-branches at some supermarkets. In this paper, an optimization problem for relocating the post ...
Incorporating flexible capacity in the planning of a multi-product multi-echelon sustainable reverse logistics network under uncertainty
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-05)
With the focus on sustainable development, the value recovery from End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Use (EOU) products has been given considerable attention by the whole society. Reverse logistics is the process for value recovery and re-creation through a series of activities, i.e., repair, remanufacturing, recycling and energy recovery. However, due to the stochastic reverse product flow, unstable ...
A value chain analysis for bioenergy production from biomass and biodegradable waste: a case study in Northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018-09-12)
During the past decades, the concerns of the depletion of fossil fuels and global warming
caused by excess GHG emissions have become the most important driving force for the
development and utilization of renewable energy resources. The successful experiences
from the EU-28 have proved that bioenergy production from biomass and biodegradable
waste is the most reliable and promising solution in ...
A New Two-Stage Stochastic Model for Reverse Logistics Network Design under Government Subsidy and Low-Carbon Emission Requirement
(Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2018-02-12)
Nowadays, increasing number of companies incorporates the reverse logistics decisions into their supply chain design in order to cope with the enforced international and national legislation and improve the resource efficiency and public image. This paper investigates a new stochastic optimization model for designing a single-period multiproduct multi-level reverse logistics system under government ...
