<b>One-Dimensional Warranty Policies Analysis for Remanufactured </b><b>Products in Reverse Supply Chain </b>

Maintenance policies with two-dimensional warranty

A new maintenance policy which minimizes the total expected servicing cost for an item with two–dimensional warranty is proposed. An iterative procedure to estimate the item’s failure rate function from historical observations and an optimization algorithm based on Monte Carlo simulation are applied to obtain the best maintenance policy. Numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are presented.

Repair-Replace Strategies for Two-Dimensional Warranty Policies

For repairable items sold with free replacement warranty, the actions available to the manufacturer to rectify failures under warranty are to (1) repair the failed item or (2) replace it with a new one. A proper repair-replace strategy can reduce the expected cost of servicing the warranty. In this paper, we study repair-replace strategies for items sold with a two-dimensional free replacement ...

A Game Theoretic Approach for Greening, Pricing, And Advertising Policies in A Green Supply Chain

In this paper, greening, pricing, and advertising policies in a supply chain will be examined with government intervention. The supply chain has two members. First, a manufacturer seeking to determine the wholesale price and the greening level and second, a retailer that has to determine the advertising cost and the retail price. The government is trying to encourage the manufacturer to green t...

Optimization For Supply Chain Models With Policies

We develop a methodology to investigate optimal dynamic policies for a large class of supply networks. The basic underlying model is a fluid dynamic model for continuous product flows in continuous time. Discrete as well as continuous controls are implemented.
