| Abstract |
Reverse logistics is indispensable for resources reuse and circular economy, and a reverse logistics network optimization problem for end-of-life vehicles is studied frequently. Recent researches have focused on the material flow for different end-of-life vehicles. However, the primary question for an end of-life vehicles recovery network is to determine optimal network nodes. To account for it, we considered a facility location allocation problem of end-of-life vehicles recovery network, and established a mathematical model to solve it. The model is used to achieve the minimization of cost for deciding optimal locations of end-of-life vehicles recovery network. The facility location allocation problem is a non-deterministic polynomial complete problem proved with increase in the number of candidate locations. This type of problem usually handled by a metaheuristics. Therefore, we proposed a valid novel approach based on artificial bee colony to solve the problem. Artificial bee colony is an optimization method that imitates bee behavior. Also, the proposed algorithm is applied to two different scale real-life cases, and some comparisons with several presented algorithms are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented method.
