- Abstract
To boost the economic waste cycle, the strategic design of the first entity in reverse supply chain structure must be perfectly studied. In this area, we found that the collection phase in the managing process of used oils from vehicles is poorly studied in African countries with the combination of operational research fundament. To give more visibility to collection step, we developed conjointly cluster sets location-allocation model to solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP) for formal collection points. Next, to avoid the creation of undesirable discharge points for the used engine oil, a new network noted as first collection point is developed to serve the informal mechanic cars operators who do oil changes vehicle. As benefic results, the environment pollution issue from this hazardous waste can be eliminated in urban area by the support of grid clustering model. To explain our contribution, a case of study is developed in the department of Tlemcen in Algeria.
