Abstract EN
The environmental factors are receiving increasing attention in different life cycle stages of products.
When a product reaches its End-Of-Life (EOL) stage, the management of its recovery process is affected by the environmental and also economical factors.
Selecting efficient methods for the collection and recovery of EOL products has become an important issue.
The European Union Directive 2000/53/EC extends the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturers to the postconsumer stage of the vehicle.
In order to fulfill the requirements of this Directive and also efficient management of the whole recovery process, the conceptual framework of a reverse logistics network is presented.
The distribution of new vehicles in an area and also collecting the End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and their recovery are considered jointly.
It is assumed that the new vehicles distributors are also responsible for collecting the ELVs.
Then a mathematical model is developed which minimizes the costs of setting up the network and also the relevant transportation costs.
Because of the complexity of the model, a solution methodology based on the genetic algorithm is designed which enables achieving good quality solutions in a reasonable algorithm run time.
