Abstract :
The importance of recycle center to reverse logistics is just like that of distribution to forward logistics. And the location selection of recycle center directly impacts on the performance of the reverse logistics management. A hybrid model combining AHP and DEA methodologies is given here. AHP is used to determine the comprehensive benefit of each alternative location of recycle center. And then DEA is applied for evaluating the relative efficiency. At last the approach is demonstrated with a simulation case.
