This paper is on production planning and inventory control in systems where manufacturing and remanufacturing operations occur simultaneously. Typical for these hybrid systems is, that both the output of the manufacturing process and the output of the remanufacturing process can be used to fulfil customer demands.
Our research in the area of production planning and inventory control with remanufacturing was initiated by a consulting project which we carried out for a large U.S. manufacturer of photocopiers (see Thierry et al., 1995). The manufacturer had developed a prototype of a new generation of photocopiers, which differed from older generations since some modules stemming from used photocopiers were re-usable in new photocopiers. This process, in which used components (modules) are processed to satisfy exactly the same quality and other standards as new components is named re manufacturing. Click here to read more…
