A Fuzzy Programming Approach for a Multi-Objective Design of a Sustainable Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network in the Case of End-of-Life Medical Textiles

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The reverse logistics of medical textiles has become a major concern in Morocco today, compelling authorities and professionals to develop a sustainable reverse logistics model. This study proposes a model for designing a sustainable closed-loop supply chain network in a fuzzy environment, using the medical textile life cycle as a case study. The model aims to generate economic gains, increase corporate social responsibility through job creation, and mitigate risks associated with the transportation of end-of-life products. In addition, the uncertainty of the model parameters is considered. The multi-objective model, formulated as a mixed-integer linear program, was solved using an exact approach, enabling strategic and tactical decision-making. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that accounting uncertainty can significantly impact strategic and tactical decisions in network design.
