A fuzzy goal programme with carbon tax policy for Brownfield Tyre remanufacturing strategic supply chain planning

Abstract

A comprehensive tyre remanufacturing supply chain strategic planning model is proposed under uncertainty and group decision making environment for reconfigurable supply chain to integrate business economics with carbon tax policy. To solve the proposed fuzzy multi-objective mixed integer programme model, a methodology is designed by combining various techniques. Numerical experiments were conducted to provide important policy insights for industry practitioners and the government such as (1) developed carbon tax-reward policy and carbon-tax- reward-forex policy other than carbon tax policy for future tyre remanufacturing supply chain carbon emission policies, (2) evaluated the possible influence of distance of used product suppliers from initial deposit facility on reconfigurable tyre remanufacturing strategic supply chain planning, (3) designed the measure of the greenness i.e. the greenness index of various tyre remanufacturing supply chains to compare various supply chains in the tyre remanufacturing industry, (4) suggested the foreign exchange (forex) reward rate for a tyre remanufacturing supply chain on basis of its greenness index in the tyre remanufacturing industry. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd
