Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
One of the priorities in modern concept of urban management is municipal waste management as a part of disposal or reverse logistics. Solving waste management problems as transport problems should embrace conditions of sustainable development. The paper presents aspects of organization of reverse logistics in Warsaw agglomeration including current situation and scale of the task. The selected aspects of multicriteria decision support are described and important elements of defining criteria preferences are pointed. The basis of MAJA method and rank method applied in SuperChoose software are presented. Application is a computer tool supporting decision making within selecting alternative ways of organization waste collection in urban area.
