ABSTRACT
Fuzzy goal programming has been used by many researchers to address various issues associated with environmentally conscious manufacturing and product recovery (ECMPRO) related problems. This chapter presents a fuzzy goal programming-based model. The model considers a scenario within a closed-loop supply chain. It considers a closed-loop supply chain with three collection centers, two production facilities from which to choose, two demand centers to be served, and three types of products from which to choose. The chapter presents a single-period transhipment model that determines the number of units of used product of each type to be chosen for remanufacturing, identifies efficient production facilities, and achieves the optimal transfer of goods across a closed-loop supply chain, in one continuous phase. This fuzzy goal-programming model has three goals: Maximization of the total profit in the closed-loop supply chain (PCSC); Maximization of the revenue from recycling (RRLC); and Minimization of the number of disposed items (NDSP).
