A multi-objective location-allocation optimization for sustainable management of municipal solid waste
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-02-13)
The location problem of treatment and service facilities in municipal solid waste (MSW) management system is of significant importance due to the socioeconomic and environmental concerns. The consideration of waste treatment costs, environmental impact, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, social fairness as well as other relevant aspects should be simultaneously taken into account when a MSW management ...
A stochastic programming approach with improved multi-criteria scenario-based solution method for sustainable reverse logistics design of Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-17)
Today, the increased public concern for sustainable development and more stringent environmental regulations have become the most important driving forces for value recovery from end-of-life and end-of use products through reverse logistics. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains both valuable components that need to be recycled and hazardous substances that have to be properly ...
An improved multi-objective programming with augmented ε-constraint method for hazardous waste location-routing problem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-31)
Hazardous waste location-routing problems are of importance due to the potential risk for nearby residents and the environment. In this paper, an improved mathematical formulation is developed based upon a multi-objective mixed integer programming approach. The model aims at assisting decision makers in selecting locations for different facilities including treatment plants, recycling plants and ...
A Carbon-Constrained Stochastic Optimization Model with Augmented Multi-Criteria Scenario-Based Risk-Averse Solution for Reverse Logistics Network Design under Uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-07-10)
With the increase of the concern from the public for environmental pollution and waste of resources, the value recovery through reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling from the end-of-use (EOU) and end-of-life (EOL) products have become increasingly important. Reverse logistics is the process for capturing the remaining value from the EOU and EOL products and also for the proper disposal of the ...
A multi-objective mathematical programming for sustainable reverse logistics network design. Part I: Model formulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-02)
Reverse logistics has received more and more attention during the past decade due to the increasing public awareness of sustainable development. Because of the fluctuation in both quantity and quality of the reverse material flow, design and planning of reverse logistics network is much more complicated comparing with the forward ones. Therefore, it is important to develop decision support tools for ...
An Empirical Study on the Impact of Cultural Types on Resources Integration Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012)
From the perspective of Resource-based Theory (RBT), organizational culture can be a source of sustained competitive advantage. And resources integration models, divided by property rights of resource, not firm boundary, as internal and external resources integration models, are presented as being specific in different cultural contexts. However, the litera- ture review shows the absences of an ...
Solving a Real-World Urban Postal Service Network Redesign Problem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)
Due to recent technological advancements, more diversified customer demand, and increasingly harder competition, traditional postal service systems have experienced significant changes all over the world. In Norway, through a strategic reform called post-in-shop, undertaken in 2013, most postal services are now provided at postal service counters located in retailer stores in order to improve ...
A Stochastic Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Optimization Problem Considering Flexible Network Capacity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-03)
Nowadays, due to the concern of environmental challenges, global warming and climate change, companies across the globe have increasingly focused on the sustainable operations and management of their supply chains. Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) is a new concept and practice, which combines both traditional forward supply chain and reverse logistics in order to simultaneously maximize the utilization ...
Reverse Logistics Network Design for Effective Management of Medical Waste in Epidemic Outbreaks: Insights from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Outbreak in Wuhan (China)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-09)
The outbreak of an epidemic disease may pose significant treats to human beings and may further lead to a global crisis. In order to control the spread of an epidemic, the effective management of rapidly increased medical waste through establishing a temporary reverse logistics system is of vital importance. However, no research has been conducted with the focus on the design of an epidemic reverse ...
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 ...
