Remanufacturing with RFID Item-Level Information: Optimization, Waste Reduction and Quality Improvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider RFID tags and their applications from a recycling/remanufacturing perspective and propose a novel framework to assist such process based on item-level information visibility and instantaneous tracking/tracing ability enabled by RFID. The incorporation of RFID in the reverse supply chain results in cost reduction, service & production quality improvement and pollution & waste reduction. With RFID in a reverse supply chain, we observe the power shift from waste-driven to market-driven system. Moreover, RFID’s value increases with uncertainties in reverse operations as well as individual products and components.

Remanufacturing/Refurbishment with RFID-Generated Item-Level Information
As an integral component of sustainable manufacturing, recycling and remanufacturing have been gaining popularity in line with Green initiatives. While the importance of item-level information their success has been stressed, the potential of RFID technology in recycling/remanufacturing has not received much attention in the research literature. We attempt to address this gap by considering RFI...
متن کاملThree Metaheuristic Algorithms for Solving the Multi-item Capacitated Lot-sizing Problem with Product Returns and Remanufacturing
This paper proposes a new mixed integer programming model for multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times, safety stock and demand shortages in closed-loop supply chains. The returned products from customers can either be disposed or be remanufactured to be sold as new ones again. Due to the complexity of problem, three meta-heuristics algorithms named simulated annealing (SA) al...
