Abstract:

Success in supply chain implementation depends on the way of dealing with market changes and customer needs. Agility is a concept that has been introduced in recent years to improve the supply chain. On the other hand, paying attention to environmental problems is another issue, and chains are trying to increase their popularity by focusing on this issue. Considering the importance of this issue, designing a multiobjective closed-loop supply chain network has been discussed in this research. The main contribution of this research is the integration of green and agility concepts in supply chain design. In this regard, a mathematical model is presented with economic, environmental, and agility objectives. First, the mathematical model is solved using the Epsilon constraint method, and then, the multiobjective weed algorithm is proposed to solve the model. The results of comparisons between the two methods show that the multiobjective weed algorithm has performed well in terms of various metrics of NPS, SNS, and Max Spread. In terms of the solving time, the average solving time of this algorithm was about 0.1% of the solving time of the Epsilon constraint method. Moreover, all cases show the superiority of the multiobjective weed algorithm over the Epsilon constraint method in solving the proposed mathematical model.
