We consider a joint manufacturing / remanufacturing environment with remanufacturing yield loss. Demand and return … remanufacturing operations performed in the same facility at exponential rates. Yield information becomes available after … remanufacturing. Demands that are not directly satisfied are lost. We investigate what inventories to consider when making production …

In this article, we investigate the profitability of remanufacturing option when the manufactured and remanufactured … the system conditions under which remanufacturing is profitable. We present analytical findings and computational results … to show profitability of remanufacturing option under substitution policy subject to a capacity constraint of the joint …
