Waste Home Appliances Third-party Reverse Logistics System Planning Studies

With the shortage of resource and deterioration of environment,sustainable development and the circular economy have been the themeof the world today, and the reclaimed and recycle campaign of disusedhousehold appliances has arose the government and society's highlyattention. Many developed countries have built their reverse logisticssystems of disused household appliances during the end of last century,however, an integrated systems of our country has not been built yet. Asthe largest production and consuming country of household appliances,facing with the fast growing disused household appliance, it is urgent tobuilt one reverse logistics system of disused household appliances whichfits with the situation of our country.The paper introduces the existing research, conception and operationof reverse logistics on the basis of summarizing domestic and overseasresearch and practices about reverse logistics management. According tothe analysis towards the characters and operation of disused householdappliances and explanation towards the motivation mechanism andgoverning structure of reverse logistics of disused household appliancesby using economic theory, the paper comes to a conclusion that as far asmost household appliances enterprises concerned, the third-party reverselogistics should be the development trend in the future.On the foundation above, the main task of this paper is to design adisused household appliances reverse logistics system model withthird-party reverse logistics provider involved. The paper also gives theprocess of selecting the third-party reverse logistics provider by using themethod of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). According to the modeldesigned, the paper illustrates the build of recycle network andremanufactured network by using MILP (Mixed Integral Linear Planning)model. The relative examples are given to prove the validity of thismodel.
