Built on the concept of supply chain management (SCM), this paper presents an algorithm for the problem — how to construct a distribution model for reverse logistics. Due to the complexity of the proposed model, we give a heuristic solution methodology for this problem. The solution methodology complements a heuristic concentration procedure, where sub-problems with reduced sets of decision variables are iteratively solved to optimality. Computational tests demonstrate that high-quality solutions are obtained while expending modest computational effort.
