FLOREZ CALDERON, Luz Ángela; TORO OCAMPO, Eliana Mirledy  and  GRANADA ECHEVERRY, Mauricio. A NETWORK DESIGN FOR A REVERSE LOGISTICS: A REVIEW AND A PRACTICAL APPLICATION. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2012, vol.22, n.2, pp.153-177. ISSN 0124-8170.

ABSTRACT This paper offers a review of several math programming models and resolution techniques applied to solve design issues of reverse logistic networks, which describes the key contributions and compares several approaches, models and solution algorithms. Additionally, an application has been developed for a specific management of disused tires in Pereira and Dosquebradas (Colombia), evaluating choices to recovery and assessment of such a waste in order to generate the lowest cost and/or produce benefits for that area.

Keywords : reverse logistics; math programming models; solution techniques; recovery and assessment; waste.
