Recently, much emphasis has given to study the control and maintenance of production inventories of the deteriorating items. Rework is one of the main issues in reverse logistic and green supply chain, since it can reduce production cost and the environmental problem. Many researchers have focused on developing rework model, but few of them have developed model for deteriorating items. Due to t...

Rework adversely impacts the performance of building projects. In this study, data were analyzed from 788 construction incidents in 40 Spanish building projects to determine the influence of project and managerial characteristics on rework costs. Finally, regression analysis was used to understand the relationship between the contributing factors, and to determine a model for rework prediction....

OF THESIS A STUDY OF QUEING THOERY IN LOW TO HIGH REWORK ENVIRONMENTS WITH PROCESS AVAILABILITY In manufacturing systems subject to machine and operator resource constraints the effects of rework can be profound. High levels of rework burden the resources unnecessarily and as the utilization of these resources increases the expected queuing time of work in process increases exponentially. Queui...

In this paper, an optimization methodology is used to select the locations and characteristics of test, diagnosis and rework operations in electronic systems assembly processes. Real-coded genetic algorithms are used to perform a multi-variable optimization that minimizes the yielded cost of products resulting from an assembly process that includes test/diagnosis/rework operations characterized...

The first significant objective of this study is that, for the ease of production and resource planning, the rework cycle has to have the same length as the other cycles. The other objective is that the number of rework cycles be as small as possible, because of changeover costs needed for going from normal production to rework as well as special attention required for rework to satisfy the zer...

This paper is devoted to the study of production systems with rework loops. Such systems are often encountered in manufacturing plants and accurate performance analysis is needed for design and continuous improvement. However, no analytical methods to evaluate its production rate are available in the current literature. In this paper, we present an aggregation procedure using overlapping decomp...

Mistakes create rework. Rework takes time and increases costs. The traditional software engineering methodology defines the ratio of Design:Code:Test as 40:20:40. As we can easily see that 40% time and efforts are used in testing phase in traditional approach, that means we have to perform rework again if we found some bugs in testing phase. This rework is being performed after Design and code ...

This research is derived an integrated model of economic production quantity, inspection and preventive maintenance to incorporate rework, minimal repair and inspection time for an imperfect production system. Some proportions of non-conforming items are assumed scrap before the rework process start and others are reworked. The rework process is imperfect that is a proportion of the reworked it...
