Development of a Reverse Logistics Performance Measurement System for a Battery Manufacturer

A GA Model Development for Decision Making Under Reverse Logistics

  Managing products’ end-of-life and recovery of used products is gaining significant importance during last years. Therefore, managing the reverse flow of products can be an important potential for winning consumers in future competitive markets. In this context, establishing reverse logistics networks is becoming a main problem in reverse supply chains. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized to s...

A reverse logistics chain mathematical model for a sustainable production system of perishable goods based on demand optimization

Sustainability in the supply chain means pushing the supply chain to focus on social, economic and environmental aspects, and addressing the existing problems in the traditional supply chain. Considering the importance of evaluating supply chain networks, especially in the field of perishable commodities, this paper aimed to design a mathematical model for the reverse supply chain of perishable...

Comprehensive Performance Measurement Methodology for Reverse Logistics Enterprise

Inventory System Modeling: A case of an Automotive Battery Manufacturer

Production systems necessarily feature both detail complexity, the effect of having many variables, and dynamic complexity, the effect of time and spatial separation, non-linearity, and counter-intuitive relationships between cause and effect. This paper presents a system dynamics modeling of a Nigerian automotive battery production organisation. Policy runs of the system simulation were done t...

Development and Validation of Sound Transmission Loss Measurement System for Measuring Muffler Performance

Muffler is a part of the vehicle exhaust system that absorb or reflect sound waves to reduce exhaust noise. One of the most important determinants of a muffler performance is the amount of attenuation that has on its input wave; this parameter is known as sound transmission loss. Four - mic standard test is one way to determine this parameter which is used in this paper. In this study, a test d...
