Optimal control of a hybrid production/remanufacturing system using one shared resource
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our problem, a company can use both a remanufacturing facility to sell returned products and a classical production facility to satisfy the demand that cannot be fulfilled by returns. Such systems are called hybrid production/remanufacturing systems and have received a growing attention in recent years. To perform production and remanufacturing, a company can use dedicated or shared resources. Sharing resources increases the flexibility of the system but complicates the production/remanufacturing control. The study of [1] is one example of a concrete application of a hybrid system with shared resource in the automotive industry.

Joint control of production, remanufacturing, and disposal activities in a hybrid manufacturing-remanufacturing system
To generate insights into how production of new items and remanufacturing and disposal of returned products can be effectively coordinated, we develop a model of a hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing system. Formulating the model as a Markov decision process, we investigate the structure of the optimal policy that jointly controls production, remanufacturing, and disposal decisions. Considerin...

متن کاملProduction Planning of a Failure-Prone Manufacturing/Remanufacturing System with Production-Dependent Failure Rates
This paper deals with the production-dependent failure rates for a hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing system subject to random failures and repairs. The failure rate of the manufacturing machine depends on its production rate, while the failure rate of the remanufacturing machine is constant. In the proposed model, the manufacturing machine is characterized by a higher production rate. The ma...
متن کاملCoordination of manufacturing, remanufacturing and returns acceptance in hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing systems
This paper deals with the coordination of manufacturing, remanufacturing and returns acceptance control in a hybrid production-inventory system. We use a queuing control framework, where manufacturing and remanufacturing are modelled by single servers with exponentially distributed processing times. Customer demand and returned products arrive in the system according to independent Poisson proc...
متن کاملProduction planning of a hybrid manufacturingヨremanufacturing system under uncertainty within a closed-loop supply chain
This paper deals with the production planning and control of a single product involving combined manufacturing and remanufacturing operations within a closed-loop reverse logistics network with machines subject to random failures and repairs.While consumers traditionally dispose of products at the end of their life cycle, recovery of the used products may be economically more attractive than di...
