The Environmental Gains of Remanufacturing: Evidence from the Computer and Mobile Industry

Quariguasi Frota Neto, J.; Bloemhof-Ruwaard, J.M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2009

Remanufacturing has long been perceived as an environmentally-friendly initiative. The question of how remanufacturing … our attention on the electronics industry. In particular, we take a close look at remanufacturing within the mobile and … personal computers industries. We analyze whether remanufacturing for such products substantially mitigates the energy used in …

Inventory strategies for systems with fast remanufacturing

Teunter, R.H.; Laan, E.A. van der; Vlachos, D. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2002

We describe hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing systems with a long lead time for manufacturing and a short lead time … for remanufacturing. We review the classes of inventory strategies for hybrid systems in the literature. These are all … based on equal lead times. For systems with slow manufacturing and fast remanufacturing, we propose a new class. An …

The Value of Information in Reverse Logistics

Ketzenberg, M.E.; Laan, E.A. van der; Teunter, R.H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2004

We explore the value of information in the context of a remanufacturer that faces uncertainty with respect to demand, product return, and product recovery (yield loss). We assume a single period model in which the operational decision of interest is the quantity of new product to order. Our...

Applying Revenue Management to the Reverse Supply Chain

Ferguson, M.; Fleischmann, M.; Souza, G.C. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2008

We study the disposition decision for product returns in a closed-loop supply chain. Motivated by the asset recovery process at IBM, we consider two disposition alternatives. Returns may be either refurbished for reselling or dismantled for spare parts. Reselling a refurbished unit typically...

Simple heuristics for push and pull remanufacturing policies

Laan, E.A. van der; Teunter, R.H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2004

Inventory policies for joint remanufacturing and manufacturing have recently received much attention. Most efforts … product returns and demands where remanufacturing is the cheaper alternative for manufacturing. Manufacturing is also needed … costs. Manufacturing and remanufacturing orders have non-zero lead times. To control the system we use certain extensions of …

Setting the holding cost rates in a multi-product system with remanufacturing

CorbacÄ±oÄŸlu, U.; Laan, E.A. van der - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2005

interpretation of AC framework is not that straightforward in systems with joint manufacturing and remanufacturing. In such systems … the end-product stock contains both manufactured and remanufactured products. Remanufacturing can be used to convert the … ambiguous. In this paper we analyze a two-product system with manufacturing and remanufacturing in a deterministic setting. By …

An Inventory Model with Dependent Product Demands and Returns

Laan, E.A. van der; Kiesmueller, G.P. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2001

In this paper an inventory model for a single reusable product is investigated, in which the random returns depend explicitly on the demand stream. Further, the model distinguishes itself from most other research in this field by considering leadtimes and a finite planning horizon. We show that...
