A novel mathematical model to design an agile supply chain for perishable products

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel multi-objective mathematical model to design a multi-product agile supply chain (ASC) in which one of the most useful utilities in the field of no waste system is considered. The proposed ASC network include different levels of plants, warehouse facilities, distribution facilities, customers in the forward logistics flow, and collection, repair, recycling and disposal facilities for the reverse logistics flow
