Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The emerging field of reverse logistics or closed loop supply chain management seeks to efficiently handle all the activities pertaining to the retrieval of products from end customers along with the proper reuse or disposal of those products. This thesis addresses a closed loop supply chain comprised of a single vendor and a single buyer operating under a consignment stock (CS) strategy. Following this sort of partnership, the buyer agrees to store the products at its premises where, in return, the payment for those products is made only after being sold to the end customer. We develop a mixed integer non-linear program that seeks to minimize the closed loop chain-wide total cost by jointly optimizing the length of the production cycle, the number and the sequence of the newly manufactured and the remanufactured batches, as well as the inventory levels of the finished and recovered products at the beginning of the cycle. Extensive numerical experiments are also conducted in order to assess the impact of key problem parameters on the behavior of the model. The results indicate that, for low values of the setup cost associated with newly manufactured batches, the vendor might be better off adopting intermittent schedules in which he would alternate between the production of new and remanufactured batches more than once. The economic merits of the generalized model are also assessed through calculating the cost percentage increase when adopting special production sequences such as consecutive remanufacturing batches followed by consecutive newly manufacturing batches, and other sequences with single manufactured or remanufactured batch."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Achieving operational excellence is a vital goal ought to be emphasized throughout supply chain (SC) practices nowadays. The integration of raw material procurement decisions at the upstream stages, along with the production and dispatching decisions at the downstream stages, greatly impacts the production schedule and chain-wide total cost. The significance of this research work is that it is the first to address and propose mathematical models for a three-stage forward and closed loop supply chain systems operating under consignment stock (CS) partnership in which the inbound and outbound logistical decisions are simultaneously accounted for, coupled with the production sequencing decisions at the vendor stage. The objective is to optimize the raw material replenishment schedule (i.e., quantity and frequency) as well as the production sequence and the delivery schedule of the finished product to the downstream buyer. Throughout this work, mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) models are developed that jointly seek to optimize the procurement decisions of raw material, the length of the production cycle, the sequence to follow in the production of newly and remanufactured batches, number of newly and remanufactured batches produced within one production cycle, as well as the initial inventory levels of recovered and finished products at the vendor’s and buyer’s premises, respectively, in order to minimize the chain-wide total cost. Extensive numerical experiments are also conducted with the purpose of assessing the impact of key problem parameters on the behavior of the developed models. The three stage forward model generated production schedule with larger batch size when compared to the just-in-time raw material ordering policy for the two-stage forward model. Moreover, the closed loop model economically outperformed the “manufacturing only” policy with cost savings ranging between 7% and 33%. Sensitivity analysis results indicates that the intermittent sequences, in which the setup for either newly manufactured or remanufactured products takes place more than once, are economically preferable in the case of high remanufacturing and low manufacturing setup costs."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution and Trends of Sustainable Approaches: Latest Development and Innovations in Science and Technology Applications provides different trends and approaches within the sustainability framework to assess their impact and offer possible solutions to problems facing the global sustainability paradigm. This book evaluates sustainability assessment approaches which support different levels of both decision-making and policy processes, thereby improving the management of natural and human systems. This book explores sustainable firm solutions, the upward trend of sustainability, and its variants. At the same time, different existing approaches are analyzed. These sustainable assessment approaches can be applied to products, services and technologies as well as business models, such as the Product-Service-System (PSS), Circular Economy (CE), Industrial Symbiosis (IS), and Supply Chain (SC). Finally, the book explores Sustainability Indicators (SIs), which are widely used to measure and communicate progress towards sustainable development, along with Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA), balancing the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social and economic). Explores innovative strategies and advanced trends of sustainable approaches, engineering, and industrial applications Analyzes sustainability assessments and their role in planning and project processes Reviews state-of-the-art sustainable technologies Evaluates approaches for organizations to achieve both sustainability assessment and sustainable solutions

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic, marketing, and legislative considerations are increasingly leading companies to take back and recover their products after use. From a logistics perspective, these initiatives give rise to new goods flows from the user back to the producer. The management of these goods flows opposite to the traditional supply chain flows is addressed in the recently emerged field of Reverse Logistics. This monograph considers quantitative models that support decision making in Reverse Logistics. To this end, several recent case studies are reviewed. Moreover, first hand insight from a study on used electronic equipment is reported on. On this basis, logistics issues arising in the management of "reverse" goods flows are identified. Moreover, differences between Reverse Logistics and more traditional logistics contexts are highlighted. Finally, attention is paid to capturing the characteristics of Reverse Logistics in appropriate quantitative models.
