Optimizing the fuzzy closed-loop supply chain for electrical and electronic products

The rapid development of the electrical and electronic products (EEPs) market in recent years has created both positive and negative impacts on the environment and humans. In order to achieve sustainable development, the most critically negative impacts – i.e., waste EEP (WEEP) — must be properly handled, such as disposal, remanufacturing, recycling, reusing, to name a few. Among the suggested solutions for solving these issues, closed-loop supply chain management has proven to be a highly potential candidate due to its efficiency, effectiveness, and economics. This paper presents a model of multi-EEP closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) systems with fuzzy parameters. The proposed model is transformed into the equivalent auxiliary crisp model by appropriate approach, and the final preferred compromise solutions are also found.
