A mixed integer non-linear programming model for optimizing the collection methods of returned products
This paper studies the problem manufacturers facing to determine the collection methods for used product at the end of its life. Three collection methods that are practically applicable are studied namely pick-up, drop-off and mail return. This paper investigates the problem of assigning collection...
