A Study of Inventory Policies in a Reverse Logistics System with Manufacturing and Remanufacturing / 含製造與再製造之逆向運籌系統

碩士 / 明新科技大學 / 工程管理研究所 / 92 / Recently, more and more manufacturers reuse old products and incorporate product recovery activities in their regular production environment. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, reuse of old products, in the form of components, subassemblies or even completely after cleaning and upgrading, can be highly profitable. This is especially the case with complex, high-tech products with a reasonably long product life cycle, like copiers and medical equipment. Secondly, in response to heightened government regulation and increasing public awareness of the effects of industrial production on the environment, many organizations are now undertaking massive initiatives to restructure their supply chain processes and products to minimize their environmental impact. In this paper we consider a reverse logistics system with manufacturing, remanufacturing, and disposal operations. Customer demands must be fulfilled from serviceable stock which has two sources: the remanufacturing of used products or manufacturing of new products. Used products are either remanufactured or disposed of. To coordinate manufacturing, remanufacturing, and disposal operations efficiently, the PUSH and PULL strategies are used for inventory control. This study proposes a research structure to evaluate the impact of inventory policies and system variables (including uncertainty and cost variables) on system performance in the reverse logistics system. Of the two inventory policies, the preferences are investigated under various combinations of system variables. An example is used to demonstrate the research structure.
