Abstract EN
Reverse logistics, which is induced by various forms of used products and materials, has received growing attention throughout this decade.
In a highly competitive environment, the service level is an important criterion for reverse logistics network design.
However, most previous studies about product returns only focused on the total cost of the reverse logistics and neglected the service level.
To help a manufacturer of electronic products provide quality postsale repair service for their consumer, this paper proposes a multiobjective reverse logistics network optimisation model that considers the objectives of the cost, the total tardiness of the cycle time, and the coverage of customer zones.
The Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is employed for solving this multiobjective optimisation model.
To evaluate the performance of NSGA-II, a genetic algorithm based on weighted sum approach and Multiobjective Simulated Annealing (MOSA) are also applied.
The performance of these three heuristic algorithms is compared using numerical examples.
The computational results show that NSGA-II outperforms MOSA and the genetic algorithm based on weighted sum approach.
Furthermore, the key parameters of the model are tested, and some conclusions are drawn.
