MODELING AND ROBUST DESIGN OF REMANUFACTURING LOGISTICS
NETWORKS BASED ON DESIGN OF
EXPERIMENT*
Abstract: The uncertainty of time, quantity and quality of recycling products leads to the bad stability and flexibility of remanufacturing logistics networks, and general design only covered the minimizing logistics cost, thus, robust design is presented here to solve the uncertainty. The mathematical model of remanufacturing logistics networks is built based on stochastic distribution of uncontrollable factors, and robust objectives are presented. The integration of mathematical simulation and design of experiment method is performed to do sensitive analysis. The influence of each factor and level on the system is investigated, and the main factors and optimum combination are studied. The numbers of factors, level of each factor and design process of experiment are investigated as well. Finally, the process of robust design based on design of experiment is demonstrated by a de-tailed example.
