Abstract

In order to achieve sustainability the design of the recovery network has to fulfill the different objectives from the economic, social, and environmental perspectives. In this paper a lexicographic integer linear goal programming (ILGP) model is developed to design a multi-commodity recovery network for products of modular structure. The model results in locating facilities in a multi-echelon network and assigning the products to the different end of life (EOL) options.
