Rapid pace of natural resource depletion and environment deterioration is a cause concern worldwide. Remanufacturing offers promising option for reduction in the waste resources consumption. As rapidly developing economy, China initiated remanufacturing efforts 1990s. While focusing on evolution China, using game theoretic setup, we analyze manufacturer retailer's decisions to enter industry. E...

The issue of decreasing air quality index due to supply chain transportation is one the problems that must be addressed by manufacturing sector. Green management (GSCM) can a solution address environmental issues in chain. GSCM an integrated view incorporates considerations into conventional chain, ranging from supplier selection, product design, material processes, packaging, and distribution....

Wind speed and wind direction indicator in turbine is a very important component the whole power generation system. Inaccurate or incorrect sensor signals will not only make inefficient, but also affect safe operation of life other components. After warranty period, after plant takes over maintenance, maintenance demand above sensors be greatly increased. In this project, numerical simulation u...

This paper starts out from the optimistic assumption that the basic policies for environmental economic development are known but uncertainties surround the speed of their adoption. In many developing countries the key obstacle is poor governance: consequently, renewable resources continue to be mined, non-renewable resources are depleted irresponsibly, and reductions in pollution intensity lag...

As the effects of climate change increasingly become a reality, policymakers have recognized the need for more renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and the benefits of distributed generation. One important way that both renewable energy and distributed generation are being addressed is through the use of electrical net metering policies. Net metering allows property owners to generat...

One of the challenges of this decade is to rationalize the consumption of global resources while increasing economic activity. Remanufacturing is an option to this challenge; however this end of life strategy must be optimized. The information collected from a franking machine manufacturer, which has set up a refurbishment activity of its machines, has allowed us to qualify remanufacturing as a...

This paper addresses a dynamic Capacitated Production Planning (CPP) problem in steel enterprise employing a closed-loop supply chain strategy, in which a remanufacturing process is adopted. We develop a model in which all demands are met by production or remanufacturing without backlogs, under the context that both the production and remanufacturing setup cost functions are arbitrary and time-...

this study deals with a two-level supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. we consider an integrated production inventory system where the manufacturer processes raw materials in order to deliver finished product with imperfect quality to the retailer, where number of defective product has a uniform distribution. the retailer receives product and conducts a 100% inspection....

Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, have been widely used in various forms of networks, which include both communication networks and the smart power grid. Since the renewable energy is usually highly fluctuating, the temporal and spatial dynamics of such sources are often difficult to model and predict. This makes it extremely challenging to incorporate and operate such ene...

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...
