ECM: Supply Chain Management for Electronics Manufacturing with Product Recovery and Remanufacturing

小行星9634914 随着许多国家的环境意识和规章制度的提高，工业界正在考虑回收使用寿命结束的产品，以便重新制造成新产品，或重新使用和回收材料和部件，从而大大增加了协调公司供应链的问题。本研究的目的是提供解决方案，以供应链协调和设计问题所遇到的公司与产品回收业务。 研究者将开发供应链模型，包括回收退回产品、拆卸、再制造、购买新部件、组装和分销。 这些模型被制定为线性规划，研究涉及这些模型的专门解决方案的程序的发展。虽然这些模型的目的是用于供应链的运作，一旦供应链的基本拓扑结构是给定的，研究人员还将开发模型，以支持供应链设计的长期问题。 虽然许多研究都是针对设计环境友好的产品和工艺，再制造和回收计划的经济可行性也受到物流和生产系统的设计和控制的影响。 这项研究解决了这些系统的基于模型的决策支持工具的强烈需求，其经济可行性具有很高的潜在影响。 这些系统的经济可行性的提高将有助于更广泛地采用再制造和回收，不仅对环境有利，而且对整个经济有利。

9634914 Uzsoy As both environmental awareness and regulation increase in many countries, industry is considering recovering products at the end of their useful life for remanufacturing into new products or to reuse and recycle materials and components, thereby significantly increasing the problem of coordinating a company's supply chain. The goal of this research is to provide solutions to supply chain coordination and design problems encountered by companies with product recovery operations. The investigator will develop supply chain models that include recovery of returned products, disassembly, remanufacturing, purchasing of new components, assembly, and distribution. These models are formulated as linear programs, and the research involves the development of specialized solution procedures for these models. While these models are intended to be used for supply chain operation once the basic topology of the supply chain is given, the investigator will also develop models to support the longer-term issues of supply chain design. Although much research has been directed toward designing environmentally benign products and processes, the economic viability of remanufacturing and recycling schemes is also affected by the design and control of the logistics and production systems in which they are realized. This research addresses a strong need for model-based decision support tools for these systems, with high potential impact on their economic viability. Increased economic viability of these systems will contribute to more widespread adoption of remanufacturing and recycling, with benefits not only to the environment but to the economy as a whole.
