By the green point of view, supply chain management (SCM), which contains supplier and location selection, production, distribution, and inventory decisions, is an important subject being examined in recent years by both practitioners and academicians. In this paper, the closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network that can be mutually agreed by meeting at the level of common satisfaction of conflicting objectives is designed. We construct a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MOMILP) model that allows decision-makers to more effectively manage firms’ closed-loop green supply chain (SC). An ecological perspective is brought by carrying out the recycling, remanufacturing and destruction to SCM in our proposed model. Maximize the rating of the regions in which they are located, minimize total cost and carbon footprint are considered as the objectives of the model. By constructing our model, the focus of customer satisfaction is met, as well as the production, location of facilities and order allocation are decided, and we also carry out the inventory control of warehouses. In our multi-product multi-component multi-time-period model, the solution is obtained with a fuzzy approach by using the min operator of Zimmermann. To illustrate the model, we provide a practical case study, and an optimal result containing a preferable level of satisfaction to the decision-maker is obtained.

One of the important concerns in the world is E-waste. Ending up e-waste in the landfill and inappropriate disposing of it are hazardous to the environment. The goal of this research is to design and optimize a multi-period, multi-product, multi-echelon, and multi-customer Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) network for a mobile phone network considering different types of product returns. Commercial, end of life, and end-of-use returns are well-known in practice. In this research, a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming formulation with stochastic demand and return is proposed to maximize the total profit in the mobile phone CLSC network, alongside maximizing the weights of eligible suppliers which are estimated based on a fuzzy method for efficient supplier selection and order allocation. Chance-constraint programming is applied in order to deal with the stochastic demand and return. Moreover, distance method and εε-constraint technique are employed to solve the proposed multi-objective problem. The application of the proposed mathematical model is illustrated in Toronto, Canada using real maps.
