- Abstract
The expanded scope of supply chain has found wide applications, one of the prominent being the area of waste management. Many municipalities are adopting modern supply chain practices to manage Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), as it has become a major problem for developing countries. There are many established models for supply chain networks, but they cannot be mirrored for reverse logistics networks, as in the case of waste management. The randomness at the point of collection poses a major challenge. Inclusion of stochastic component to the existing model helps in overcoming this problem. The model is revised and applied to waste management network of Belagavi city, Karnataka, India.
