Optimal manufacturing and remanufacturing capacities of systems with reverse logistics and deterministic uniform demand
Abstract: 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 logistics and steady demand
taking into account the random behavior of the quantity, quality and timing of
units that are collected thru the reverse logistics system. The collected units
are remanufactured or disposed of. We also provide an example to illustrate the
method.
