A Decision Support Model For Process Planning In Remanufacturing Using Fuzzy Set Theory And Genetic Algorithm, Juan C. Martinez
A Decision Support Model For Process Planning In Remanufacturing Using Fuzzy Set Theory And Genetic Algorithm, Juan C. Martinez
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
The environmental awareness and resources preservation has boosted the use of remanufacturing processes. Many important studies have been made in this area, but there are still pitfalls and opportunities that have not been explored yet. Specifically, the cleaning processes play a critical role in remanufacturing. It is among the top of most costly processes and it plays a key step in remanufacturing because delivers a free of contaminant product ready for reprocessing. Understanding and selecting the best processes to meet the need and goals of remanufacturers are important for effective and efficient remanufacturing. Due to variables and high uncertainty associated …
A Stochastic Product Priority Optimization Method For Remanufacturing System Based On Genetic Algorithm, Xiong Xiong
A Stochastic Product Priority Optimization Method For Remanufacturing System Based On Genetic Algorithm, Xiong Xiong
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Increasing number of manufacturers are developing remanufacturing facilities to recover end-of-life products for product/component reuse and material recycling while the high uncertainty pattern of returned products complicates the production planning. In this thesis a stochastic production priority optimization method, considering various priority concerns for remanufacturing systems is developed. Priority ranking and matching algorithm is developed to determine the priority rule, using thirteen weighting factors. Queueing models are developed to formulate the objective function, a genetic algorithm is then developed to search optimal solution under different business configurations. Result of this research will provide insights to priority assignment mechanism, which in …
