This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As legislations have become stricter and the competition on markets is getting stronger, companies facing return flows strive for the implementation of efficient and cost-effective reverse logistic procedures. At the same time, when managing reverse logistics, they are not only confronted with a high degree of uncertainties concerning the quality, quantity and timing or the product returns, but also with a dynamically changing environment. Various aspects, such the increasing amount of return flows, shorter repair and lead times as well as increasing disposal costs, affect the reverse logistic system and need to be managed proficiently. Additionally, handling product returns requires supportive computer aided modelling tools that are capable of handling the dynamic and complex characteristics of the reverse logistic system and allow an improved estimation of the impact of a changing environment and management decisions. For the purpose of this study, the system dynamics modelling approach has been identified as particularly suitable for illustrating the system in question with a special focus on understanding the dynamic behaviour over time. A generic system dynamics model has been exemplarily created and simulated using the program iThink. The model comprises end-to-end processes of the main reverse logistic activities related to customer returns and has been used for studying the strategic design and optimization of the reverse logistic system. In order to consider relevant uncertainties as well as environmental concerns and economic efficiency, representative policies have been applied where, inter alia, with the help of the graphical illustration of the processes, effective strategies could be implemented. A general evaluation of the system dynamics methodology has revealed the significant advantages of using supportive modelling techniques for strategic decision making. Particularly for complex systems that change over time, such as reverse logistics, applying appropriate computer aided modelling tools in order to anticipate the overall effect on processes caused by varying surroundings has proven essential. An effective utilization of system dynamics may significantly reduce the forecasting and planning risks within individual frameworks, such as capacity planning. Moreover, the generic approach allows the application of the model to any other industry that is characterized by uncertain capacity utilization and varying technical, economical and legal conditions.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Industriebetriebslehre, Note: 1,3, Universität Mannheim, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, erhöhte Komplexität und Kausalzusammenhänge innerhalb einer Closed-Loop Supply Chain im Rahmen des System-Dynamics-Ansatzes abzubilden. Mittels des Simulationsstudiums sollen grundlegende Erkenntnisse über die dynamischen Auswirkungen einer Integration von Sekundärressourcen in den Produktionsprozess gewonnen werden. Besondere Beachtung wird dabei den Implikationen der Reverse Logistics auf das Systemverhalten infolge exogener Störungen in der Nachfrage (Bullwhip-Effekt) zuteil. Zum Erreichen der Zielsetzung wird folgender Lösungsweg eingeschlagen: In Kapitel 2 wird auf Umfeld und Prozesse der Reverse Logistics eingegangen, um so den Rahmen für die spätere Modellentwicklung aufzuspannen. Dazu werden zunächst gesetzliche Grundlagen und direkte und indirekte ökonomische Anreize als Ursachen der Produktrücknahmen seitens der Hersteller identifiziert. Darauf folgend werden verschiedene Quellen und Senken der Produktrückflüsse definiert und Reverse Logistics als viergliedrige Prozesskette charakterisiert. Abschließend erfolgt eine Systematisierung der dem RL-Umfeld inhärenten Angebotsunsicherheit. In Kapitel 3 wird auf Basis der gewonnen Erkenntnisse ein System-Dynamics- Modell einer generischen Closed-Loop Supply Chain konzipiert, dessen Ausgangsstruktur anhand der wesentlichen Modellsektoren Produktion, Produktnutzung und Reverse Logistics erläutert wird. Darauf folgen eine Validierung der Modellstruktur sowie eine Diskussion der durch Simulation des Basismodells gewonnenen Ergebnisse. Die in Kapitel 4 zunächst vorgenommene Erweiterung des System-Dynamics- Modells um eine sektorübergreifende Koordination der Produktions- und Recyclingprozesse strebt eine Verbesserung des zuvor beobachteten Systemverhaltens an. Sich daran anschließende Szenarioanalysen betrachten Auswirkungen der Reve

This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: As the world population is growing continuously and emerging markets are expanding, natural recourses are being used even more intensively. Because of the scarcity of natural resources, industry faces a changing business environment. Due to government regulations, companies nowadays must handle not only in terms of efficiency, but also of sustainable development and new market opportunities. Thus, with the progression of the logistics sector in recent years, supply chain management and especially the concept of reverse logistics have become more important for both, industry and science. By utilizing reverse logistics, companies aim at maximizing their product revenue while reducing the costs of product returns. Accordingly, implementing an effective concept of reverse logistics, while manufacturing environmentally friendly products, has become a strategic issue. In order to meet the requirements, companies are confronted with the problem of reducing the uncertainties regarding the quality, quantity and timing of the product returns. In this context, a high level of uncertainty leads to a strong increase in complexity compared to the traditional forward supply chains. Using modern computer aided modelling techniques such as system dynamics, helps to counteract this complexity since they not only enable a better understanding of the dynamic behaviour of such complex systems but also allow an improved estimation of the impact of a changing environment and management decisions. This thesis contributes towards an improvement of the strategic decision making process in the field of reverse logistics by providing a generic simulation model which can be used to analyse the influence of different environmental and economical policies with respect to prevailing market conditions. To achieve this objective, the following approach is proposed: In Chapter 2, the theoretical foundation of reverse logistics is characterized forming the framework for the subsequent analytical approach concerning the appropriate model development. For this purpose, first, an overview of the state of the art concerning the processes and influencing factors within the field of reverse logistics is provided. This is achieved by describing the theoretical background of the topic, including a characterization of the impact of individual reverse logistic activities on each other and on their environment. Afterwards, current challenges and trends when [...]
