Two-warehouse reverse logistic inventory model for deteriorating item under learning effect

Abstract

Sustainability of environment requires more concentration on reverse logistics. Keeping this in mind, in this article, we have developed a two-warehouse reverse logistic model with finite rate of production and remanufacturing. A forward and reverse supply chain is considered for deteriorating items. During different cycles, remanufactured and fresh products are stored in owned warehouse (OW) which has limited storage space. For the excess amount, supplier hire rented warehouse (RW) at a high cost of holding than the holding cost of OW. Main objective of this study is to find optimal value of total relevant cost. Numerical illustration and sensitivity analysis is given at the end of this paper.
