Erratum to 'A genetic algorithm approach for solving a closed loop supply chain model: A case of battery recycling' [Appl. Math. Modell. 34(2010)655-670]

摘要

This study analyzes Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) proposed by C. Kannan, P. Sasikumar M. Devika, (2010) in their paper titled 'A genetic algorithm approach for solving a closed loop supply chain model: A case of battery recycling', Applied Mathematical Modelling, (34, 655-670). The model in Kannan et al. (2010) is found to be inadequate for the problem described. It is erroneous/infeasible in terms of constraints, objective and variables. In this work, we list down the flaws in the published work and propose modifications to rectify the flaws. The revised model is presented and illustrated using hypothetical problems.
