Abstract

The concept of recycling logistics system and its cost are defined here. By analyzing that recycling process can be put into the delivery cost to offset part of the forward and backward delivery cost, a new way of calculating and saving distributing/reclaim cost is proposed to bring more profit to manufacturers by recycling logistics. The model considers distributing cost from three aspects of arrangement of vehicle, restraint of delivery capacity of vehicle and time restraint. This model from the selection of transportation route and reverse distribution to reach the best distributing strategy can be used in recycling logistic.
