Abstract EN

This paper presents a closed-loop location-inventory-routing problem model considering both quality defect returns and nondefect returns in e-commerce supply chain system.

The objective is to minimize the total cost produced in both forward and reverse logistics networks.

We propose a combined optimization algorithm named hybrid ant colony optimization algorithm (HACO) to address this model that is an NP-hard problem.

Our experimental results show that the proposed HACO is considerably efficient and effective in solving this model.
