A Decision Support Model for Spare Parts Inventory in a Multi-Echelon Closed Loop Supply Chain
نویسنده
چکیده
This research work develops a decision support model for a network design problem concerning a spare parts closed loop supply chain. It involves the formulation of an optimization model that takes on a mid to long-term planning perspective and covers decisions that have lasting and binding impact on organizational performance. These decisions include investment, location assignment, and inventory considerations for the different echelons in the supply chain. The computational studies conducted on the model likewise examine various scenarios and inventory management policies, and their corresponding cost implications to the supply chain. Keywords—closed loop supply chain, optimization, spare parts

Closed-loop Supply Chain Inventory-location Problem with Spare Parts in a Multi-Modal Repair Condition
In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...
