چکیده

This paper focuses on the application of soft computing in remanufacturing system, in which end-of-life products are disassembled into basic components and then remanufactured for both economic and environmental reasons. The disassembly activities include disassembly sequencing and planning, while the remanufacturing process is composed of product design, production planning & scheduling, and inventory management. This paper presents a review of the related articles and suggests the corresponding further research directions.

Production planning and control for remanufacturing: industry practice and research needs

Remanufacturing represents a higher form of reuse by focusing on value-added recovery, rather than materials recovery Ž . i.e., recycling . Remanufacturing systems are widespread in the United States and are profitable. However, the management of production planning and control activities can differ greatly from management activities in traditional manufacturing. We report on managerial remanuf...

On the alignment of lot sizing decisions in a remanufacturing system in the presence of random yield

In the area of reverse logistics, remanufacturing has been proven to be a valuable option for product recovery. In many industries, each step of the products’ recovery is carried out in lot sizes which leads to the assumption that for each of the different recovery steps some kind of fixed costs prevail. Furthermore, holding costs can be observed for all recovery states of the returned product....
