The optimum production policy in a hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing system

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing system is investigated. The objective is to minimize the total cost of the hybrid system. The impacts of the amount of products manufactured and the proportion of the remanufactured part to the returned products on the total cost of the system are analyzed. Through theoretic analyses and numerical experiments, the relationship between the total cost of the system and the two influential factors is identified. The total cost of the hybrid system could be reduced significantly by setting optimum values of the two influential factors. Copyright
