Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

In this paper, we design the reverse network integrated with forward logistics under the background of electric power system. Firstly we make it on the basis of the original forward logistics facilities; then under the emergency logistics, we establish the stochastic network-design model to solve the location problem, considering the demand for electric power materials and the quantity of returned vitiated power materials following the Poisson distribution. Lastly, in this paper, in order to solve this stochastic network-design model, we take use of random simulations algorithm, and verify the model with a hypothetical numerical example.
