Abstract :
Sustainable supply chain networks have attracted considerable attention in recent years as a means of
dealing with a broad range of environmental and social issues. This paper considered a multiobjective
Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model and applied it to the design of a
sustainable closed-loop supply chain network under uncertain conditions. The proposed model aims to
minimize total cost and optimize environmental impacts of establishment of facilities, processing and
transportation between each level, and social impacts including customer satisfaction. Due to the
variability of the business environment, uncertainty exists in the research problem; hence, this paper
applied the chance-constrained fuzzy programming approach to deal with uncertainties associated
with the parameters of the proposed model. Then, the proposed multi-objective model solves the
single-objective model using LP-metric method.
