In a forward supply chain, products are sent from suppliers to manufacturers and finally, to customers. In a reverse supply chain, some of the products are returned by customers. A closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) encompasses both forward and reverse supply chains. The goal of a CLSC (e.g. tire remanufacturing), is to gain economic and environmental values from both new and returned products. This program will pursue three primary areas of research in regards to CLSCs. First, this research is concerned with several sources of uncertainty within CLSCs, including the demand, return rate and quality of returned products. Our goal in this instance is to identify and analyze the different sources of uncertainty operating simultaneously in CLSC networks. Second, this research will consider how to minimize waste across CLSC networks, studying relevant environmental factors with a view to uncovering sustainable solutions. Third, this research will investigate the impact of Big Data on CLSC network configuration and optimization, given that large amounts of data are sometimes available within CLSC parameters. This research program will examine real case studies in Canada, CLSCs with a focus on four types of products: paper, tires, computers and hazardous materials. It will consider the typical CLSC networks of products, related recovery options (e.g. recycling), and federal and provincial policies in Canada. Moreover, it will propose mathematical models and develop appropriate solutions based on operations research techniques, e.g. robust optimization, multi-objective programming, and metaheuristic algorithms. Finally, it will provide relevant managerial insights and suggestions for practitioners focusing on Canadian industries.

在远期供应链中，产品是从供应商发送给制造商，最后将产品发送给客户。在反向供应链中，某些产品由客户退还。闭环供应链（CLSC）涵盖了前进链和反向供应链。 CLSC的目标（例如轮胎再制造）是从新产品和返回产品中获得经济和环境价值。该计划将在CLSC方面追求研究的三个主要研究领域。首先，这项研究涉及CLSC内的几种不确定性来源，包括返回产品的需求，回报率和质量。在这种情况下，我们的目标是在CLSC网络中同时识别和分析不确定性的不同来源。其次，这项研究将考虑如何最大程度地减少CLSC网络中的废物，研究相关的环境因素，以发现可持续解决方案。第三，鉴于有时在CLSC参数中可用，这项研究将研究大数据对CLSC网络配置和优化的影响。该研究计划将研究加拿大的实际案例研究，CLSC，重点是四种产品：纸，轮胎，计算机和危险材料。它将考虑典型的产品，相关恢复选项（例如回收）以及加拿大联邦和省级政策的典型CLSC网络。此外，它将提出数学模型，并基于操作研究技术开发适当的解决方案，例如强大的优化，多目标编程和元启发式算法。最后，它将为关注加拿大行业的从业者提供相关的管理见解和建议。
