a stochastic approach to a case study for Product Recovery network design
European Journal of Operational Research, 2005Co-Authors: Ovidiu Listes, Rommert DekkerAbstract:Uncertainty is one of the characteristics of Product Recovery networks. In particular the strategic design of their logistic infrastructure has to take uncertain information into account. In this paper we present a stochastic programming based approach by which a deterministic location model for Product Recovery network design may be extended to explicitly account for the uncertainties. Such a stochastic model seeks a solution which is appropriately balanced between some alternative scenarios identified by field experts. We apply the stochastic models to a representative real case study on recycling sand from demolition waste in The Netherlands. The interpretation of the results is meant to give more insight into decision-making under uncertainty for reverse logistics.

a characterisation of logistics networks for Product Recovery
Omega-international Journal of Management Science, 2000Co-Authors: Mortiz Fleischmann, Hans Ronald Krikke, Rommert Dekker, S.d.p. FlapperAbstract:Recovery of used Products is receiving much attention recently due to growing environmental concern. Efficient implementation requires appropriate logistics structures to be set up for the arising goods flow from users to producers. We investigate the design of such logistics networks. As a basis for our analysis we review recent case studies on logistics network design for Product Recovery in different industries. We identify general characteristics of Product Recovery networks and compare them with traditional logistics structures. Moreover, we derive a classification scheme for different types of Recovery networks.

supply chain network configuration for Product Recovery
Production Planning & Control, 2004Co-Authors: Benita M Beamon, Clara FernandesAbstract:The current growth in consumption results in resource reduction, increasing waste Production and, ultimately, environmental deterioration. Both government and consumer concerns regarding these issues have been driving reduction efforts in waste and natural resource-usage. These environmental issues, in addition to economic opportunities, result in the concept of Product cycles that oppose the traditional ‘one-way’ economy. One approach is to create Product Recovery networks in which used Products are collected, reprocessed and later redistributed to the customer. Product Recovery networks differ from typical forward-only networks. Therefore, specific work considering their issues is necessary. In this work, we study a closed-loop supply chain in which manufacturers produce new Products and remanufacture used Products. The decisions to be made are: which warehouses and collection centres should be open, which warehouses should have sorting capabilities and how much material should be transported between ea...

modelling Product Recovery processes in closed loop supply chain network design
International Journal of Production Research, 2012Co-Authors: Vildan Ozkir, Huseyin BasligilAbstract:Recent changes in environmental requirements have forced manufacturing operations to face a new challenge, which is to develop green strategies to design supply chains and their processes. This study describes the specific features of green supply-chain design considering end-of-life Products. We propose a mixed integer linear programming model to obtain the optimal closed-loop supply-chain (CLSC) network design, in which Recovery process occurs in three different ways: material Recovery, component Recovery, and Product Recovery. An extensive analysis is supported by numerical results which inform CLSC managers about the opportunities of enhancing Product returns in terms of quality and quantity. To define a better CLSC strategy to increase system profitability, the volume of Product returns and corresponding quality conditions should be considered in the design of a CLSC network. The numerical study provides information for us to discuss the potential benefits of Product-Recovery processes and the reacti...

Production planning for Product Recovery management
Reverse Logistics, 2004Co-Authors: Karl Inderfurth, S.d.p. Flapper, Alfred J.d. Lambert, Costas P. Pappis, Theodore G. VoutsinasAbstract:Production Planning and Control (PPC) in Product Recovery systems faces complications due to several characteristics which typically require tools different from, and in addition to, those known from traditional forward Production and logistics systems (e.g., see Guide, 2000, and Inderfurth and Teunter, 2002). Many of these characteristics are due to additional specific operations necessary for disassembling, reprocessing, and rearranging recoverable Products. Furthermore, in Product Recovery management, considerable sources of uncertainty have to be taken into consideration concerning the arrival of recoverables as well as the outcome of disassembly and reprocessing activities. The specific environment that poses challenges for PPC under Product Recovery will be demonstrated by two case examples, one of them concerning remanufacturing of used Products in the field of discrete Products’ manufacture, and the other considering rework of by-Products in the field of process industries.
