Key Words: inventory systems, product returns, closed-loop supply chain, remanufacturing, optimal strategies, approximation algorithms. / Product returns have become a significant part for many manufacturing, distribution, and retail systems. These products are returned under different operational conditions that require different remanufacturing effort/costs. In this thesis, we study several inventory models with remanufacturing, in particular, remanufacturing inventory systems with multiple types of returns, with non-identical processing leadtime, with random yields and with history dependent returns. Optimal manufacturing/remanufacturing policies for such inventory systems are fully or partially characterized. We have also developed effective algorithms or easy-to-implement heuristics for controlling such systems. / Tao, Zhijie. / Adviser: Sean X.
