ABSTRACT
Due to stricter environmental regulations and decreasing natural resources, environmentally conscious manufacturing and product recovery (ECMPRO) initiatives have received increased attention from researchers and practitioners in recent years. Although there are various algorithms, models, heuristics, and software that have been developed to solve ECMPRO-related problems, multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques have lately received increasing attention from scholars due to their ability to consider multiple and conflicting objectives simultaneously. Application of MCDM techniques to ECMPRO-related problems is a new and fast-growing area of interest. While there are many books on the market that emphasize the application of MCDM techniques to various problems, as of now, none exclusively focuses on the issues that arise in the area of ECMPRO. This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book addressed the issues that arise in the application of MCDM techniques to the problems associated with ECMPRO.
