Managing products’ end-of-life and recovery of used products is gaining significant importance during last years. Therefore, managing the reverse flow of products can be an important potential for winning consumers in future competitive markets. In this context, establishing reverse Logistics networks is becoming a main problem in reverse supply chains. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized to solve the proposed NP-hard problem and find the best possible design for different facilities. In order to test the applicability of proposed GA, we suppose a tire reverse logistic case and solve the problem. The results show that the least cost will be achieved by using the free space of distribution centers and integrating collection and inspection centers within them. In addition, we suggest using hybrid algorithm in future allocation problems to obtain best solutions.

The traditional flow of materials and products in the construction industry has become linear; meaning all building materials will be repelled as waste at the end of life of the building. However, demolishing the buildings and sending the pile of debris to landfills would not be the best available alternatives anymore. A large percentage of waste in the construction sector is due to damage and loss of construction materials on the site. Other sources of waste production include the destruction and remanufacturing of old buildings. In the present era, optimum management of waste has become an indispensable issue, due to the shortage of natural resources and raw materials and the intensification of environmental pollution caused by construction waste. The implementation of the RL principles is one of the measures to address these concerns. This study seeks to identify reverse Logistics challenges that dramatically influence its adoption and implementation in construction projects. Therefore, semi-structured interviews were conducted with industry experts. Finally, according to the qualitative information obtained from the interview and observation, Questionnaires were arranged in the form of Delphi technique and was given to industry managers and experts and 57 challenges were identified and prioritized in different RL sections based on the results.

Background and Purpose: Manufacturing companies are among those that outsource most of their services to other companies and, in doing so, seek to create value in Logistics. The aim of this research is to investigate the creation of Logistics value, and for this purpose, the antecedents of Logistics performance were examined. Meanwhile, the roles of outsourcing communication quality, satisfaction with communications, and strategic alignment in manufacturing companies in the industrial towns of Mashhad were evaluated.Method: The present research was descriptive-survey in nature. The statistical population consisted of manufacturing companies in the industrial towns of Mashhad. Simple random sampling was used, selecting 50 manufacturing companies in the industrial towns of Mashhad. Four questionnaires were distributed among each company’s CEO, internal manager, public relations manager, and Logistics manager, resulting in a total of 200 completed questionnaires.Findings: Results showed that trust has a positive and significant effect on both satisfaction and commitment. Three variables—strategic alignment, commitment, and satisfaction with the relationship—had a positive and significant effect on the quality of Logistics outsourcing relationships. Two variables, strategic alignment and satisfaction with the relationship, positively and significantly affected Logistics performance. The moderating role of Logistics outsourcing relationship quality on the effect of satisfaction with the relationship on Logistics performance was not confirmed.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that strengthening mutual trust and strategic alignment between manufacturing companies and Logistics service providers can effectively improve Logistics performance. This improvement can lead to reduced supply chain costs, increased speed and accuracy in delivery, and ultimately enhanced customer satisfaction. Therefore, managers of manufacturing companies should carefully select Logistics partners and invest in developing long-term, aligned relationships to facilitate greater value creation in the outsourcing process.
