A framework for facility layout problem characterization in a bi-directional logistics context
2025
Overview
Purpose: This paper aims to propose a framework to define the facility layout problem (FLP) in a bi-directional logistics (BL) context, specifically highlighting the main factors that enterprises must consider when reverse flow is introduced in forward logistics (FL).Design/methodology/approach: A characterization of the problem is proposed based on outstanding works that define similar problems in the bibliography and main characteristics identification in FLP through a bibliographic review. Aspects to consider for BL are distinguished and classified.Findings: Research findings indicate that BL is an unexplored term. There are no articles that connect BL with FLP, there is an unaddressed gap.Research limitations/implications: Founded articles refer to reverse logistics (RL) characteristics the ones about BL.Practical implications: Academic and practical implications of this article include understanding the importance of FLP in the BL context, identifying the impact of factors such as material, machinery, labour, among others.Originality/value: This article proposes an opening to study the impact of BL in the FLP for enterprises.
