Abstract | This paper proposes a quantitative reverse logistics system model and an application example on electronic products. An interactive heuristics algorithm is presented to solve the multi-objective optimization problems of the proposed reverse logistics system model. Reverse logistics systems no longer are confined to one-way product flows from manufacturers to consumers, but also deal with flows in the opposite direction. Environmental issues are considered in reverse logistics. Companies cannot avoid the responsibility of their pollution to the environment. Reverse logistics is the ideal selection and could provide a solution to the management problem of electronic product wastes and help to lower economic cost and improve environmental performance of the business. This research studies optimization decisions and constraints required by analyzing the reverse logistic model. A multi-objective optimization method is used in this research, since the optimization decision problems of the proposed reverse logistics model always have multiple objectives. Product manufacturing, distribution, returning, recycling, and other general activities through the reverse logistics system are discussed and modeled. A life cycle assessment method (Eco-indicator 99) is also developed to integrate environmental impacts into optimization processes |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
