Analytical Approaches for Assessing the Revenue Aspects and Environmental Impacts of Demanufacturing

本研究的目的是确保面向需求制造的逆向供应链的经济和环境效率。去制造是指通过拆解和回收部件和材料以重复使用的方式，回收报废产品的剩余经济和环境价值。本研究将重点发展和分析面向需求制造的逆向供应链的供需一体化管理策略和拆解回收作业管理策略。在实践中，将明确考虑影响需求制造复杂性的因素。这些因素与处置市场的供应特点、报废产品的材料清单结构、拆解和回收成本结构以及再利用市场的需求特点有关。这项研究将集中于开发分析模型和特定领域的解决方法，以提供分析和计算工具，以便比较替代综合供应和需求管理战略以及需求制造的拆解和回收作业管理政策对经济和环境的影响。这项研究将对分析环境立法倡议和制定公共政策，以设计和运作经济上无害和环境安全的需求制造反向供应链具有重要意义。此外，由于这项研究议程是与佛罗里达州的当地行业合作伙伴共同制定的，这项研究将有助于确定新兴的最佳行业实践，并促进行业与学术合作伙伴之间更强有力的互动。工程专业的研究生和本科生将从计划中的教材开发和行业推广活动中受益。此外，为学生组织开发面向环境的服务项目将有助于提高未来几代工程师的环境意识。

The goal of this research is to ensure the economical and environmental efficiency of reverse supply chains for demanufacturing. Demanufacturing is concerned with the reclamation of the residual economical and environmental value of end-of-life products by disassembling them and recovering components and materials for reuse. This research will focus on the development and analysis of integrated supply and demand management strategies as well as disassembly and recovery operations management policies for reverse supply chains for demanufacturing. Explicit consideration will be given to factors that influence the complexity of demanufacturing in practice. These factors pertain to the characteristics of supply in the disposal market, bill-of-material structure of the end-of-life product, disassembly and recovery cost structures, and characteristics of demand in the reuse market. This research will concentrate on the development of analytical models and domain-specific solution methodologies to provide analytical and computational tools that allow for a comparison of economical and environmental performance implications of alternative integrated supply and demand management strategies and disassembly and recovery operations management policies for demanufacturing. This research will be important for the analysis of environmental legislative initiatives and the development of public policies for the design and operation of economically sound and environmentally safe reverse supply chains for demanufacturing. Moreover, as this research agenda has been developed in collaboration with local industry partners in Florida, the research will help with the identification of emerging best industry practice and foster stronger interactions between the industry and academic partners. Graduate and undergraduate engineering students will benefit from the planned educational material development and industry outreach activities. In addition, the development of environmentally oriented service projects for student organizations will help raise the environmental awareness of future generations of engineers.
