A Fuzzy-based Location Selection Method for Reverse Logistics Reprocessing Center

The location selection of reverse logistics reprocessing center is one of the most important decision issues, which is a multiple criteria problem and usually possesses characteristics of fuzziness. Decision-making process should consider group decision making with various subjective-objective factors. In this paper, a frizzy multiple criteria decision making method is proposed to help selecting the most suitable location of reverse logistics reprocessing center (RC). Many impact factors relevant to the RC location selection are taken into account including objective and subjective factors. The experts opinions are described by linguistic terms and the important weight of different criterion is obtained by group decision. Subsequently, the decision procedure of fuzzy-based location selection of RC is described in detail. Finally, a hypothetical example shows the process of the proposed method
