Diseño de redes de logística inversa: Una revisión del estado del arte y aplicación práctica

Abstract

<p>Este artículo presenta una revisión de diferentes modelos de programación matemática y técnicas de solución, aplicadas en la solución de problemas de diseño de redes de logística inversa, en donde se describen las principales contribuciones y se comparan varios tratamientos, modelos y algoritmos de solución. Adicionalmente, se ha desarrollado una aplicación al caso específico de la gestión de llantas fuera de uso en las ciudades de Pereira y Dosquebradas (Colombia), evaluando las alternativas que existen en la recuperación y valorización de este tipo de residuo, con el fin de incurrir en el menor costo posible y/o generar beneficios para la Región.</p>

A Model for Design of a Reverse Logistics Network Under Extended Producer Responsibility

“…Several authors have used for their contributions, mathematical integer linear programming (MILP) models. For instance, the design of a logistic network for returns in electronic commerce [14]; design of a model to examine the heterogeneous and non-uniform quality of the returned products in reverse logistics [15]; design of a reverse logistics network for the recycling of plastics [16]; design of a reverse logistics network for tires out of use in cities of Colombia [17]; design of an integrated network for optimization of product recovery [18]; design of a reverse logistics network based on a genetic algorithm that satisfies the demand for the logistic network [19]; design of a network for reverse logistics providers [20]; design of reverse logistics networks for waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) [21] [22]; design of a system to establish the batch size of hybrid products which must be remanufactured [23]; design of a flexible reverse logistics network with different supply lines [24]; design of a reverse logistics network for the recovery of vehicles at the end of their life cycle [25], among other authors, as [26] The design and use of mathematical tools to design reverse logistics systems for the recovery of products that have ended their life cycle, is acquiring great importance in the field of research. The commitment to these designs is to offer recycled products that contribute to sustainable development, fulfilling economic, social and ecological objectives.…”
