Abstract :
Closed-loop supply chain network with several kinds of operation links involves the manufactured and remanufactured heterogeneous products. The closed-loop supply chain network models prior to and post their horizontal integration are developed. The variational inequality formulations of the models are given. Finally, numerical examples are solved by using the proposed models.
