The design of reverse distribution networks: Models and solution procedures
TLDR
This paper discusses reverse distribution, and proposes a mathematical programming model for a version of this problem that complements a heuristic concentration procedure, where sub-problems with reduced sets of decision variables are iteratively solved to optimality.About:

Green supply‐chain management: A state‐of‐the‐art literature review
TL;DR: An integrated and fresh look into the area of GrSCM is taken, using the rich body of available literature, including earlier reviews that had relatively limited perspectives, on the basis of the problem context in supply chain's major influential areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facility location and supply chain management - A review
TL;DR: Basic features that facility location models must capture to support decision-making involved in strategic supply chain planning are identified and applications ranging across various industries are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable supply chains: An introduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the focus on environmental management and operations is moved from local optimization of environmental factors to consideration of the entire supply chain during the production, consumption, customer service and post-disposal disposition of products.

A robust optimization approach to closed-loop supply chain network design under uncertainty
TL;DR: In this article, a robust optimization model for handling the inherent uncertainty of input data in a closed-loop supply chain network design problem is proposed, and the robust counterpart of the proposed mixed-integer linear programming model is presented by using the recent extensions in robust optimization theory.

Quantitative models for reverse logistics: A review
Moritz Fleischmann,Jacqueline M. Bloemhof-Ruwaard,Rommert Dekker,Erwin van der Laan,Jo van Nunen,Luk N. Van Wassenhove +5 more
TL;DR: This article subdivides the recently emerged field of reverse logistics into three main areas, namely distribution planning, inventory control, and production planning, and discusses the implications of the emerging reuse efforts.

Coordinated supply chain management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the literature addressing coordinated planning between two or more stages of the supply chain, placing particular emphasis on models that would lend themselves to a total supply chain model.

Multicommodity Distribution System Design by Benders Decomposition
Arthur M. Geoffrion,G. W. Graves +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multicommodity capacitated single-period version of the problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program, and a solution technique based on Benders Decomposition is developed, implemented, and successfully applied to a real problem for a major food firm with 17 commodity classes, 14 plants, 45 possible distribution center sites, and 121 customer zones.

The impact of information technology on the organization of economic activity: the Move to the middle hypothesis
TL;DR: This paper argues that information technology (IT) has the ability to lower coordination cost without increasing the associated transactions risk, leading to more outsourcing and less vertically integrated firms, called the "move to the middle" hypothesis.
