Logistics Network Design for Electronic Waste with Community Issue Added

Abstract

Reverse logistics hold the important key to collecting electronic waste. Problem that always occurs in reverse logistics is the expensive cost needed to access some route. One of the reasons it happens was the community issue in certain area with different approach and cost. Electronic waste itself is a hazardous substance that needs to be treated differently. Some regions only have storage permit for seven days, while few have the rights to process the electronics waste. It means that electronic waste needs to be transferred from one region to other while passing through the area with community issue cost. Using linear programming, determine the efficient route for reverse logistics in Indonesia will possible. A collection center will be placed in several regions in order to support fulfillment of capacity. Meanwhile, the collection center itself will reduce the community issue involve in operational cost of armada. Efficient route has been found in Indonesia following the capacity constraint in each region such as from Bandar Lampung consolidation to Bekasi processing plant.
