ABSTRACT
In this paper, two multi-period models are proposed for a remanufacturing system, which is an element of a Reverse Supply Chain (RSC), and illustrated with numerical examples. The first model is solved using mixed integer linear programming (MILP) where the second model is solved using linear physical programming (LPP). The proposed models deliver the optimal transportation quantities of remanufactured products for N-periods within the reverse supply chain.
