This paper deals with the coordination of manufacturing, remanufacturing and returns acceptance control in a hybrid production-inventory system. We use a queuing control framework, where manufacturing and remanufacturing are modelled by single servers with exponentially distributed processing...

This research studies the problem of batching orders in a dynamic, finite-horizon environment to minimize order tardiness and overtime costs of the pickers. The problem introduces the following trade-off: at every period, the picker has to decide whether to go on a tour and pick the accumulated...
