This paper examines a periodic-reviewed lot sizing problem with random yields, disruptions and limited inventory capacity. To characterise the continuous production, an additive random yield model is considered rather than a multiplicative one. Disruptions cause breakdowns to production....

In this paper we study a hybrid system with both manufacturing and remanufacturing. The inventory control strategy we use in the manufacturing loop is an automatic pipeline, inventory and order based production control system (APIOBPCS). In the remanufacturing loop we employ a Kanban policy to...

We study the multi-item economic lot scheduling problem (ELSP) with two sources of production: manufacturing of new items and remanufacturing of returned items. Manufacturing and remanufacturing operations are performed on the same production line. Tang and Teunter [2006. Economic lot scheduling...

This paper provides a further investigation of a remanufacturing system studied by Tang et al. [2007. Planned lead time determination in a make-to-order remanufacturing system. International Journal of Production Economics 108, 426-435]. Due to the uncertainty of the disassembly lead time,...

We study the economic lot scheduling problem with two production sources, manufacturing and remanufacturing, for which operations are performed on separate, dedicated lines. We develop an exact algorithm for finding the optimal common-cycle-time policy. The algorithm combines a search for the...
