Remanufacturing and the Component Commonality Decision
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Firms often determine whether or not to make components common across products by focusing on the manufacturing and sales of new products only. However, component commonality decisions that ignore remanufacturing can adversely affect the profitability of the firm. In this paper, we analyze how remanufacturing could reverse the OEM’s commonality decision that is based on the manufacturing and sales of new products only. Specifically, we determine the conditions under which the OEM’s optimal decision on commonality may be reversed and illustrate how her profit can be significantly higher if remanufacturing is taken into account ex ante. We illustrate the implementation of our model for two products in the Apple iPad family.

OPTIMAL LOT-SIZING DECISIONS WITH INTEGRATED PURCHASING, MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLING FOR REMANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
This work applies fuzzy sets to the integration of purchasing, manufacturing and assembling of production planning decisions with multiple suppliers, multiple components and multiple machines in remanufacturing systems. The developed fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model (FMOLP) simultaneously minimizes total costs, total $text{CO}_2$ emissions and total lead time with reference to cus...

Abstract: This paper illustrates how common platform (CP) strategy can contribute to the effectiveness of the supply chain through commonality. Through reviewing the related literature and the practical data, which are collected through observations in manufacturing, a mathematical model is set up. This model was developed for reducing cost of part commonality in SCM and solved it by simulate...
متن کاملJoint 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...
