Random yields from production are often present in manufacturing systems and there are several ways that this can be modeled. In disassembly planning, the yield uncertainty in harvesting parts from cores can be modeled as either stochastically proportional or binomial, two of these alternatives....

In a recent contribution, Teunter et al. [2006. Dynamic lot sizing with product returns and remanufacturing. IJPR 44 (20), 4377-4400] adapted three well-known heuristic approaches for the single-item dynamic lot sizing problem to incorporate returning products that can be remanufactured. The...

Mit dem von P. Nyhuis und H.-P. Wiendahl entwickelten Konzept der logistischen Kennlinien ist das Ziel verbunden, den Zusammenhang zwischen verschiedenen Kenngrößen eines logistischen Systems mit einem einfachen Funktionsverlauf hinreichend genau abzubilden. Im Rahmen von Lagerkennlinien soll...

In the area of reverse logistics, remanufacturing has been proven to be a valu- able option for product recovery. In many industries, each step of the products’ recovery is carried out in lot sizes which leads to the assumption that for each of the different recovery steps some kind of fixed...

Analyzing static lot sizing problems has always attracted a considerable interest in scientific literature. A commonly applied methodology to solve the trade-off between setup and holding costs is to order the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) whenever the corresponding inventory is depleted. Yet,...

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag zur Produktionslogistik wird die auftragsorientierte Fertigung von Druckaufträgen in der maschinellen Werkstattproduktion klein- und mittelständischer Unternehmen (KMU) am Fallbeispiel einer Akzidenzdruckerei betrachtet. Wesentliche Planungsaufgaben stellen dabei...

The efficient supply of spare parts is of prime concern for OEMs. Next to the traditional spare parts sources in form of final order and remanufacturing, the option to buy back broken products prevents the OEM from fulfilling his spare parts availability obligation in the end-of-life phase and...
