INTRODUCTION Cose oop suppy chan (CLSC) network ams at reucng the waste an generatng proft for enterprses through ntegratng forwar an reverse ogstcs. CLSC has been consere as one of the sustanabe practce to push conventona open-oop systems to cose-oop ones by Eah an Franchett (2014). Reusng returne proucts by recycng process, prevents epetng resources, reuces envronmenta pouton an optmzes utty by Gue Jr. an Van Wassenhove (2006). Therefore, conserng the process of hanng the prouct returns n suppy chan s of sgnfcant mportance by Zarean Jahrom et a. (2014). Due to ts varous aspect mportance such as envronmenta, mte resources, t s the focus of current research, Ayres et a (1997), Boemhof an Corbett (2010), De Govann (2014), Mohaer an Faah (2014), Paksoy an Ozceyan (2014), an severa mxe nteger programmng moes are eveope to optmze CLSC. However, ue to the confct between economc optmzaton an envronmenta protectons, severa research has consere mut-obectve an goa programmng approach for CLSC. For exampe, n Amn an Zhang (2013a), a mxe nteger near programmng (MILP) moe s propose that mnmzes the tota cost. Beses, the moe s extene to conser envronmenta factors by weghe sums an -constrant methos. Snce n a CLSC network, n partcuar, n reverse fow, some parameters mght be uncertan, many researchers have use fferent approaches to ea wth t. E-Saye et a. (2010) eveope an MILP moe for a CLSC network n the presence of uncertanty n eman. Pshvaee et a. (2011) formuate an MILP moe n the exstence of uncertanty n emans, returns an transportaton costs parameters base on Ben-Ta an Nemrovsk approach (1998), (2000). An enhance verson of the uncertan moe n Pshvaee et a. (2011) s gven n Makroon an Saah (2016) that has much ess constrants when emans, returns an transportaton costs between factes are uncertan. Saema et a. (2007) extene the reverse ogstcs moe of Feschmann et a. (2001) n orer to take nto account uncertanty n emans. Francas an Mnner (2009) propose a two-stage stochastc moe to esgn a cose-oop network uner uncertan emans an returns. Pshvaee et a. (2009) propose a etermnstc optmzaton moe for a reverse ogstcs network. However, envronmenta factors have not been taken nto account n the moe. Lee an Dong (2009) propose a two-stage stochastc programmng moe for CLSC network. They aso eveope a souton approach by smuate anneang. Pshvaee an Torab (2010) eveope a possbstc mxe nteger programmng moe to ea wth uncertanty n CLSC confguraton. Sh et a. (2010) propose a moe to maxmze the proft of a remanufacturng system usng a Lagrangan reaxaton metho. Wang an Hsu (2010) propose an nterva programmng moe where the uncertanty s n the form of fuzzy numbers. Sh et a. (2011) stue a proucton pannng probem for a mut-prouct cose-oop system. The authors consere uncertan emans an returns by stochastc programmng. Amn an Zhang (2013b) eveope an optmzaton moe uner uncertan * Corresponng author s e-ma: saahm@guan.ac.r Te:

Amn an Zhang (2013a) have nvestgate the mpact of emans an returns uncertantes on the network confguraton by stochastc programmng (scenaro-base). In ths paper our focus s on the moe of Amn an Zhang (2013a). We conser nterva uncertanty n returns an emans an present the robust counterpart of the moe n Amn an Zhang (2013a). Moreover, on severa exampes, the robust approach s compare wth stochastc programmng approach of Amn an Zhang (2013a) showng that the robust approach performs better. 2. PROBLEM DEFINITION In ths secton, a genera CLSC network s escrbe that ncues pants, coecton centers, an eman markets (Fg. 1) Amn an Zhang (2013a). The pants can manufacture new proucts an remanufacture returne proucts. The proucts are sent to eman markets by pants. Then, the returne proucts are sent to coecton centers, where coectng use proucts from eman markets, etermnng the conton of them by nspecton an/or separaton to fn out whether they are recoverabe or not. Then senng recoverabe returns to the pants an unrecoverabe returns to the sposa center. The goa s to know how many an whch pants an coecton centers shou be open, an whch proucts an n whch quanttes shou be stock n them n orer mnmze the cost. Moreover, we assume that The network s for a snge pero. A returne proucts from eman markets are coecte n coecton centers. Locatons of eman markets are fxe.

The frst an secon terms are the fxe costs of openng pants an coecton centers, respectvey. The thr term s the proucton an transportaton costs of the new proucts. The forth term s reate to prouct recovery an transportaton costs of returne proucts. The ffth term represents the tota recovery an transportaton costs of returne proucts from coecton centers to pants. Fnay, the sxth term s the sposa an transportaton costs. The constrant (1) guarantees that the tota number of each manufacture prouct for each eman market s equa or greater than the eman. Capacty constrant of pants s gven by (2). Constrant (3) ncates that forwar fow s greater than reverse fow. Constrant (4) enforces a mnmum sposa fracton for each prouct. Constrant (5) gves capacty constrant of coecton centers.

Nevertheess, t turns out that for a we varety of compact, convex uncertanty sets, the robust counterpart moe s a tractabe (poynomas sovabe) convex optmzaton probem, usuay a near optmzaton or a conc quaratc probem (see Ben-Ta et a.
