Description
End-of-life product management has become a major industrial problem for several years in order to cope with sustainable development principles. The latters are often conflicting with modern market practices. To reach objectives of both, reverse logistic aims at generate values from end-of-life product by connecting processes and actors of recovery, disassembly, recycling, remanufacturing, repair or elimination while respecting environmental constraints. In this context, decision makers have to face simultaneously different criteria (economical, technical, environmental …) in designing and managing reverse logistic. These problems are complex and represent research challenges including: inventory management of used product, reverse logistic network design, disassembly planning and scheduling. Metaheuristics can contribute to solve these in reasonable execution times.
