Abstract

In this research, a multi-objective mix integer programming for supply chain is proposed in which forward and reverse logistic is considered, simultaneously. In addition to cost, minimization of the environmental influences such as carbon dioxide emission and water consumption and also the social issues such as generated jobs and their equitable distributionis considered. Moreover, it is assumed that the demand is uncertain and the problem has been modeled using robust optimization. Proposed model determines the type of technology and capacity of facilities other than optimal location and flows between them. Eventually, the efficiency of robust model is investigated by applying it on steel industry as a case study.
