Using reverse logistics in production systems can help to reduce costs. However, it can also mean introducing a source of uncertainty in the system behavior. In this study we present a method for calculating the optimal manufacturing and remanufacturing capacities of a system with reverse...

This research deals with pricing decisions in a closed-loop supply chain constituted by a manufacturer, two retailers and the end consumers. The manufacturer is assumed to be the Stackelberg leader while one of the retailers engages in collecting activities. In this paper, we consider collecting...

In a context of Closed-Loop Supply Chain, Production-Routing Problem with Pickup and Delivery is presented in this paper. In its basic form, Production-Routing Problem (PRP) attempts to solve jointly Dynamical Lot-Sizing and Inventory-Routing Problems. In this paper, a novel PRP model seeking to...

Recently Waste Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) has become urgent environmental issues around the world. Generally, the e-waste recycling reverse supply chain (RSC) is featured as higher uncertainties and complicated network structures, making the operation more difficult. To meet the...

Purpose: This study aims to analyse the benefit provided by interested parties in remanufacturing including manufacturing companies, original equipment manufacturers and customers. Existing studies examining Produc-Service System (PSS) focus on relationship between two parties, either between...

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to provide the framework for management of reverse flow of materials in automotive industry. The emphasis is placed on the remanufacturing activities. Materials management in such conditions is a real challenge. The cause for this is parallel use of raw...

Motivated by interactions with a major player in the aerospace industry, we consider the relationship between a supplier of specialty material forgings and a buyer that manufactures airplane components by extensively machining down these forgings as per component design specifications. Due to...
