Download or read book Modelling and Optimization of Closed loop Supply Chain Networks Considering Product Recovery written by Yongtong Chen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To further inspect the process of product recovery in a CLSC, a multi-period decision model considering uncertainties is established. This model simulates the process of product refurbishment in a CLSC and discusses uncertainties in end of life products collection, including customer demand uncertainty, returned product quality uncertainty and returned product quantity uncertainty. In the literature, few research studies have focused on the process of returned products refurbishment in closed-loop supply chain networks. Considering the deepening crisis caused by abandoned end of life products, especially electronic waste, it is important to propose a model like this. This proposed model structures the end of life products refurbishment process and provides decision supports for end of life products collection, considering the uncertainties in both quantity and quality. In this decision model, a two-layer fuzzy controller embedded with a quality indicator is developed. This proposed method effectively deals with the uncertainties of both supplies and demands in multi-period production planning of returned products refurbishment. A simulation system based on this model is implemented, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy controller. It also proves the efficiency of the quality indicator dealing with the quality uncertainty. The developed simulation system provides decision support for end of life products collection for responsible manufacturers. Additionally, the increasing profits of end of life products refurbishment encourage product recovery to some extent. The originality and significance of this research lies in the proposed models and algorithms. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by: (i) Establishing a closed-loop supply chain model with product recovery, which filling the gap of considering multiple materials with different quality in CLSC networks, (ii) developing a two-stage priority based encoding Genetic Algorithm to reinforce the genetic searching ability in tackling NP-hard problems in closed-loop supply chain, (iii) establishing a multi-period product refurbishment model in closed-loop supply chain, which fill the gap of describing product refurbishment process considering uncertainties, (iv) developing a two-layer fuzzy controller embedded with a quality indicator to deal with uncertainties effectively in product refurbishment, and (v) implementing a simulation system to simulate the process of product refurbishment, which providing decision supports for end of life product collection and in turn mitigate environmental problems. This research provides an important means to better understand the product recovery in closed-loop supply chain and contributes significantly to the further improvement of the performance of end of life product collection.

Download or read book Quantitative Models for Reverse Logistics written by Moritz Fleischmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. 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.
