Inventory control in hybrid systems with remanufacturing.
Author: Laan, E. van der ; Salomon, M. ; Dekker, R.INSEAD Area: Technology and Operations Management Series: Working Paper ; 1999/11/TM/CIMSO7 Publisher: Fontainebleau : INSEAD, 1999. ; INSEAD Center for Integrated Manufacturing and Service Operations (CIMSO) 1999.Language: EnglishDescription: 33 p.Type of document: INSEAD Working Paper Online Access: Click here Abstract: 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. Here, we consider a relatively simple hybrid system, related to a single component durable product. For this system, we present a methodology to analyse a PUSH control strategy (in which all returned products are remanufactured as early as possible) and a PULL control strategy (in which all returned products are remanufactured as late as convenient). The main contributions of this paper are (i) to compare traditional systems without remanufacturing to PUSH and to PULL controlled systems with remanuifacturing, and (ii) to derive mangerial insights into the inventory related effects of remanufacturing.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
