Robust Operating Model for a Closed-loop Supply Chain with Uncertain Reclaim Ratios

Under the synthetically consideration of re-distribution, remanufacturing and reuse, the dynamic operating model for a closed-loop supply chain with uncertain reclaim ratios is established. The supply chain is composed of one manufacturer and one supplier, in which the manufacturer is in charge of reclaiming and re-disposal of the used products. The operations of closed-loop supply chain are dynamic and meet multi-objectives such as coordination between members, maximum profits of each member. Uncertain reclaim ratios are described as a scenario set with certain probability, the supply chain operating model is constructed by using the robust linear programming method based on scenario analysis. The robustness of the model is verified by the result of a numerical example.
