چکیده
Considerable uncertainty exists regarding European requirements for withdrawing a product from the market because of product performance problems that are not related to serious health risks or death. This article discusses the requirements for product returns or other related actions that are outside the scope of the recall notification requirements defined in the medical device Directives.

Inventory control with product returns: The impact of imperfect information
Product returns are characterized by considerable uncertainty on time and quantity. In the literature on inventory management for product return environments best forecasts of future returns are associated with methods that use the most information regarding product return history. In practice, however, data is often scarce and unreliable, while forecasts based on historical data, reliable or n...
متن کاملThree Metaheuristic Algorithms for Solving the Multi-item Capacitated Lot-sizing Problem with Product Returns and Remanufacturing
This paper proposes a new mixed integer programming model for multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times, safety stock and demand shortages in closed-loop supply chains. The returned products from customers can either be disposed or be remanufactured to be sold as new ones again. Due to the complexity of problem, three meta-heuristics algorithms named simulated annealing (SA) al...
متن کاملAn integrated product returns model with logistics and marketing coordination
We develop an integrated approach for analyzing logistics and marketing decisions within the context of designing an optimal returns system for a retailer servicing two distinct market segments. At the operational level, we show that the optimal refund price is not unique. Moreover, it is such that if both market segments return a purchased product, then neither segment will receive a full mone...
متن کاملSimulation of Long-term Returns with Stochastic Correlations
This paper focuses on a nonlinear stochastic model for financial simulation and forecasting based on assumptions of multivariate stochastic correlation, with an application to the European market. We present in particular the key elements of a structured hierarchical econometric model that can be used to forecast financial and commodity markets relying on statistical and simulation methods. The...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Biodiesel Production from Beef Bone Marrow
This study is concerned with the viability of producing biodiesel from waste beef bone fat and evaluate this product according to the quality requirements defined by ASTM D- 6751. Accordingly, beef bone fat was heated to remove the moisture under vacuum at 60 . Alkaline Catalysed Transesterfication was carried out by using 6:1 molar ratio of ethanol to fat in the presence of 1% w/w sodium hydr...
