The information transferred in the form of orders between the nodes of a supply chain tends to be distorted when it moves from downstream to upstream. This phenomenon is called as bullwhip effect and this research is aimed to analyze this effect deeply in a single input single output (SISO)...

Demand variability increases when it moves downstream to upstream in a supply chain is called “Bullwhip effect”. The paper describes the impact of two different information sharing strategies decentralized and centralized under two different demand forecasting policies (Moving Average and...

The conflict between economic optimization and environmental protection has received wide attention in recent research programs for waste management system planning. This has also resulted in a set of new waste management goals in reverse logistics system planning. The purpose of this analysis...

This study presents a cost optimisation model for multi-variety (or multi-type) Recycled Waste Reverse Logistics System (RWRLS). A linear analytical model is formulated which minimises the total reverse logistics costs for multi-variety Recycled Waste Reverse Logistics System (RWRLS) subjected...
