Design Of An Integrated Component Recovery System, Pitipong Veerakamolmal, Surendra Gupta
Surendra M. Gupta
This paper presents a two-stage disassembly and retrieval system that provides a unique solution for planning selective component recovery from products. The solution approach uses a process sequencing technique to schedule the operations in both stages to optimize the operational makespan.

Strategic planning of a supply chain network is one of the most challenging aspects of reverse logistics. To effectively satisfy drivers such as profitability, environmental regulations and asset recovery, only the most economical used products must be reprocessed in only the recovery facilities that have the potential to efficiently reprocess them. Due to uncertainties in supply, quality and reprocessing times of used-products, the cost-benefit function in the literature that selects the most economical product to reprocess from a set of used-products is not appropriate for direct adoption. Moreover, due to the same uncertainties, any traditional forward supply chain approach to …
System Dynamics Approach In Inventory Management Of End-Of-Life Products In A Disassembly Line, Badr Johar, Surendra Gupta
System Dynamics Approach In Inventory Management Of End-Of-Life Products In A Disassembly Line, Badr Johar, Surendra Gupta
Surendra M. Gupta
A major challenge original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) currently face is how to implement an effective reverse supply chain network that is both cost effective and efficient. The rapid increase in the end-of-life (EOL) products returns from end customers back to origin for recovery or proper disposal can be said one of the main reasons behind this interest. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between all elements of inventory management in the disassembly context using the system dynamic modeling approach to analyze the inventory of disassembled parts. Analysis of different market scenarios is conducted. The system …
