Many companies consume a huge amount of market-traded commodities in their daily operations. As the market prices of these commodities fluctuate significantly over time, it is very important for the companies to take into account the volatile spot prices when making procurement decisions of these commodities. In order to address the issue, this thesis studies three multi-period stochastic inventory models for a market-traded commodity with fluctuating purchase price. The first model considers a risk-neutral decision maker, whose objective is to minimize the expected total cost over the planning horizon. We prove that the optimal inventory control policy is a price-dependent base-stock policy, where the base-stock levels depend on the commodity price in that period. We further establish the monotonicity properties of the optimal base-stock level with respect to the commodity price and the uncertain price change, study the relative magnitude of the optimal base-stock level for the model with deterministic demand, and derive the closed-form optimal base-stock level for the single-period model with deterministic demand. The second model assumes that the decision maker is risk-averse, and hence optimizes the expected exponential utility of the present value of the total cost over the planning horizon. The optimal inventory policy remains a base-stock policy depending on the commodity price. The closed-form optimal base-stock level is derived for the single-period model with deterministic demand and binomial-tree price process. The third model incorporates the financial hedging decision in the risk-averse inventory control problem, where the uncertainty in the purchase price can be partially hedged by holding derivatives of the commodity available in the financial market. Again, we establish the optimality of a state-dependent base-stock inventory control policy. It is also proved that a hedging portfolio is optimal if and only if there exists a risk-neutral measure of the stochastic price change satisfying a linear equation of the hedging portfolio. When the financial market is sufficiently diversified, the optimal inventory policy can be obtained independent of the optimal hedging policy, and an optimal hedging portfolio can be constructed by a limited number of derivatives. Building upon these results, we further study several special cases of this model, where the commodity price follows a binomial-tree process or/and the demand of the commodity is deterministic. Various properties are established regarding the monotonicity of the optimal base-stock level with respect to the commodity price, the relative magnitude of the optimal base-stock level, as well as the monotonicity of the optimal hedging policy with respect to the order-up-to level and the risk-aversion parameter, respectively. Based on the results obtained from the three models, we also compare the corresponding optimal base-stock levels through both theoretical analysis and computational studies.

▼ This research considers inventory systems for economic production models where the objective is to find the optimal cycle time, which minimizes the total cost, and optimal amount of shortage if it is allowed. Several aspects such as time value of money, inflation, constant and linear demand rates, shortages, and deterioration are considered in developing different models. Closed formulas are obtained for the optimal policy in one model. For others, more complex models where closed formulas cannot be obtained, search techniques are used to find the optimal solution.First, a deterministic inventory control problem is considered for determination of optimal production quantities for an item with constant demand rate, while considering the effect of time value of money. Closed formulas are obtained to calculate the optimal cycle time and corresponding production quantity for the model without shortage. However, search procedures are used to find the optimal cycle time and maximum amount of shortage allowed for the models where shortage is allowed.In the next inventory control problem, a deterministic model for items with linear demand rate over time, for a finite planning horizon, while considering the effect of time value of money, is considered. Search techniques are developed to find the optimal cycle time for the models without shortage, and the optimal cycle time and maximum amount of shortage for the models where shortage is allowed. A proof of the existence of a unique optimal point for the cost function is presented for the model without shortage.A deterministic inventory control problem is also considered for items with constant rate of demand and exponentially decaying inventory over an infinite planning horizon, while considering the effect of time value of money. Two different search techniques are developed to find the optimal cycle time for the models without shortage, and the optimal cycle time and maximum amount of shortage allowed for the models where shortage is allowed. A proof of the existence of a unique optimal point for the cost function is presented for the model without shortage.

▼ The ability to learn inductively from examples is an important feature of intelligent systems. These learning methods and algorithms, which are able to generate a model of a system using the observations (data) available, are applied in a specific domain usually with the following goals: to create a system that can carry out a task and to obtain a better understanding of the available data. In this thesis, function approximation or pattern recognition is used to predict inventory level so as to enhance the performance of supply chain. Inventory management plays a crucial role in logistics and its performance is shaped dramatically by uncertainty in both demand and supply. Although demand is difficult to predict due to its stochastic behavior, it is necessary to have accurate forecasting so as to fulfill the customer needs and maintain the corporate competitive edge. Achieving accurate demand forecasting and representing knowledge in rules attract the attention of both academic and practitioners. Knowledge is regarded as a valuable asset for enterprises and knowledge can be manipulated through Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Among those AI techniques, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has been proven to be very useful in approximating functions and recognizing patterns by adjusting their weights and biases during training process, but it cannot explain how they arrived at a conclusion in solving a problem. This is the reason why ANN is considered in literature as black boxes due to the lack of clear explanation. To overcome these shortages, TREes PArroting Networks(TREPAN) algorithm is used to extract knowledge from the trained networks in the form of decision trees. The TREPAN algorithm utilizes the IF M-of-N THEN conditions rule instead of the common IF-THEN-ELSE rule to construct the decision tree which can be used to understand previously unknown relationship between input variables for forecasting so as to improve inventory management. The experimental results show that forecasting accuracy using ANN are superior to traditional methods like moving average and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). Also, the knowledge extracted from trained ANNs using TREPAN algorithm is represented in a comprehensible way and can be used to facilitate human decision-making. The significance of this study is to design and develop a knowledge discovery system, thereby enhancing the inventory management.

▼ As the after-market service industry’s prospects grow, it is becoming imperative for the OEMs to satisfy their customer’s varying service requirements and do so economically. Differentiating the demand into different classes according to their service requirement and using inventory rationing to fulfill the demand is one technique to accomplish this. In military materials management, when the same spare part is requisitioned from various divisions, an inventory control policy that prioritizes the request for fulfillment is needed so that the division with the most mission-critical needs obtain the part first. Critical level inventory rationing, where the lower class demand is either backordered or not satisfied after on hand inventory reaches a pre-determined critical level (called rationing level), is the most cost effective inventory policy used for this type of problems. Since the revenue generated from aftermarket service and sales of spare parts is huge, firms are more concerned to solve this type of problems with an objective of minimizing the inventory cost and maximizing the service level imparted to different customer classes. In the first part of the dissertation, inventory rationing policies are considered for ‘n’ customer classes, and a model is developed to find the optimal policy parameters, assuming deterministic demand. A general penalty cost structure including delay cost and stock out is considered in developing this model; which has not been considered in the other studies. It is assumed that demands are backordered from a customer class after its run-out time. Run-out time of a customer class is defined as the time after which demand from that class is rejected and satisfied when next replenishment arrives. The total inventory cost to be minimized consists of inventory carrying cost, ordering cost and penalty cost. An algorithm is developed to determine the optimal cycle time and consequently, the run-out time for each customer class. Finally some numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm. The part second part analyses an inventory system with multiple customer classes and considered rationing polices. Under the assumption of Poisson demand, a model is developed and the expression for expected cost is derived. Apart from developing an algorithm to solve the multiple-class problem, the impact of collapsing an n-class model into a 2-class or 3-class model (by aggregating several classes together) is investigated, numerically. In most of the cases, an aggregated 2-class or 3-class model achieves most of the benefits of rationing with a cost that is only marginally higher than an n-class model. The final part of this dissertation reports a new class of two-bin policy where two separate bins are kept for the two classes. When demand arrives from a class, it is satisfied from the bin designated for it, if inventory is available. The higher class can use the lower class’s bin when its own stock runs out but not vice versa. Demand follows a Poisson process and is…

This thesis focuses on some inventory management policies for substitutable and perishable items under demand uncertainty. A set of perishable products with fixed shelf lives is considered under an (R,Si) system of inventory control where demand for a preferred product can be satisfied by a substitute product with a known probability, in the event of a stockout of the preferred product. While taking demand substitution and product expiration into account, the retailer is faced with the decision of determining the order-up-to level, Si, for each product i which maximizes expected total profit, given a common review period, R, determined exogenously.Under demand uncertainty, the problem detailed in this thesis involves stochastic optimization. An exact closed form expression, however, for expected profits becomes difficult for certain parameter values involving product shelf-life, product substitution, and lead time. As an alternative approach, order replenishment, demand consumption, substitution, and product expiration can be effectively modeled using discrete-event simulation. Through a discrete-event simulation model, each realization of the profit function can be evaluated for a selected value of Si, and a mean profit value can be estimated after a number of replications of a simulation run. In order to find the best Si solution, the technique of simulation-optimization is used.This thesis also examines the impact of key parameters such as substitution characteristics, shelf-life, cost structure, lead time, and number of products on the choice of inventory issuing policy on both the optimal Si levels and corresponding mean profit values. Through a factorial experimental design, the effects of these parameters on system performance are analyzed. In addition, heuristics are proposed and tested in order to provide managers with a convenient set of rules for determining near-optimal Si values in practice.

▼ Supply chain management is one of the fundamental topics in the field of operations research, and a vast literature exists on the subject. Many recent developments in the field are rapidly narrowing the gap between the systems handled in the literature and the real-life problems companies need to solve on a day-to-day basis. However, there are certain features often observed in real-world systems that elude even these most recent developments. In this thesis, we consider a number of these features, and propose some new heuristics together with methodologies to evaluate their performance. In Chapter 2, we consider a general two-echelon distribution system consisting of a depot and multiple sales outlets which face random demands for a given item. The replenishment process consists of two stages: the depot procures the item from an outside supplier, while the retailers' inventories are replenished by shipments from the depot. Both of the replenishment stages are associated with a given facility-specific leadtime. The depot as well as the retailers face a limited inventory capacity. We propose a heuristic for this class of dynamic programming models to obtain an upper bound on optimal costs, together with a new approach to generate lower bounds based on Lagrangian relaxation. We report on an extensive numerical study with close to 14,000 instances which evaluates the accuracy of the lower bound and the optimality gap of the various heuristic policies. Our study reveals that our policy performs exceedingly well almost across the entire parameter spectrum. In Chapter 3, we extend the model above to deal with distribution systems involving several items. In this setting, two interdependencies can arise between items that considerably complicate the problem. First, shared storage capacity at each of the retail outlets results in a trade-off between items; ordering more of one item means less space is available for another. Second, economies of scope can occur in the order costs if several items can be ordered from a single supplier, incurring only one fixed cost. To our knowledge, our approach is the first that has been proposed to handle such complex, multi-echelon, multi-item systems. We propose a heuristic for this class of dynamic programming models, to obtain an upper bound on optimal costs, together with an approach to generate lower bounds. We report on an extensive numerical study with close to 1,200 instances that reveals our heuristic performs excellently across the entire parameter spectrum. In Chapter 4, we consider a periodic-review stochastic inventory control system consisting of a single retailer which faces random demands for a given item, and in which demand forecasts are dynamically updated (for example, new information observed in one period may affect our beliefs about demand distributions in future periods). Replenishment orders are subject to fixed and variable costs. A number of heuristics exist to deal with such systems, but to our knowledge, no general approach exists to find lower…

▼ After a mobile communication device (MCD), such as a smartphone or tablet, has been sold to the public, the customer may find that there is a defect. Each MCD is sold with a warranty that covers the repair of manufacturing defects and is supported by the MCD manufacturer. A third party warranty service provider (WSP) is contracted by the MCD manufacturer to perform the MCD repairs and ships the repaired MCDs back to the customers. The contract established between the MCD manufacturer and the WSP clearly specifies the minimum required service levels for repair lead time and fill rate that must be met by the WSP to maintain a high level of customer satisfaction. The objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of two different spare parts replenishment methods that are used by a large manufacturer of semiconductors and electronics located in the Pacific Northwest referred to as XYZ Corporation. The effectiveness of a spare parts replenishment method was measured as its ability to meet minimum required service levels (defined based on contract agreements between XYZ Corporation and the WSP) at a minimum cost. The two spare parts replenishment methods under study are called the manufacturer managed spare parts inventory (MMSPI) and the advanced ship process (ASP). A simulation approach was used to model each spare parts replenishment method and to assess their performance based on several common performance measures, including average repair lead time, average fill rate, and average total system cost. Then, a 2k experimental design was implemented to test how the performance of the spare parts replenishment methods was affected by changes in the experimental factors mean arrival rate of defective MCDs to WSP and shipment lead time from XYZ Corporation to WSP. The results showed that both spare part replenishment methods satisfy the minimum service level requirements established by XYZ Corporation, and that at the same time there is no statistically significant difference in average total system cost between the MMSPI and ASP spare parts replenishment methods. However, the results also showed a significant difference in the average repair lead time and average fill rate which indicate that the ASP spare parts replenishment method provides a shorter lead time and higher fill rate when compared to the MMSPI spare parts replenishment method at the same level of demand arrivals.

The following thesis is based on a study on warehousing for an inventory of finished goods at Volvo Construction Equipment in Eskilstuna. The inventory stores components consisting axles and transmissions. The project portrays a current situation analysis based on collected primary data, in form of interviews and observations. The current situation analysis includes a detailed process mapping, different warehouse layouts along with calculations. These aspects have been used in the development of improvement propositions. The company is currently required to deliver components according to FIFO (First In, First Out), that is therefore fundamental when designing the following thesis. The project has however not been based on implementing FIFO, but only improving the existing management of FIFO. The current way of working with FIFO at the company is not ideal, consequently contributed to lack of storage space. This has eventually led to some components being stored outside the warehouse. It means that the components will not be weather-protected, which is one of the aspects that the company wishes to improve. The Authors have presented various improvement propositions consisting investing in a: pallet, mobile- and a push back racking system and an improved inventory layout. These suggestions have been compared based on various factors that could be prioritized by the company. Examples on these key factors are: cost, volume utilization and enforcement of FIFO. The cost analysis for the racking systems are based on assistance from suppliers that has led to an enhanced cost comparison. The presented propositions have been delimited to ultimately being able to decide the final suggestion. For further studies, the company is recommended to invest in a pallet racking system, which is not only a beneficial economical solution, but also solves space shortage while all the components are stored with weather- protection. This will ultimately lead to improvement on managing FIFO in the finished goods inventory that the company strives after.

Detta examensarbete är grundat på undersökningar inom lagerhanteringen i färdigvarulagret (FVL) på Volvo Construction Equipment i Eskilstuna. Färdigvarulagret lagerhåller i dagsläget komponenter bestående av axlar och transmissioner. Detta arbete redogör en nulägesbeskrivning som har tagits fram med hjälp av insamlad primärdata, i form av intervjuer och observationer. Nulägesbeskrivningen innefattar bland annat en detaljerad processkartläggning, olika lagerlayouts samt beräkningar som har varit fördelaktigt vid framtagandet av förbättringsförslagen. Den insamlade primärdata har jämförts med den teoretiska referensramen, som har varit till stöd vid utformningen av förslagen. Företaget har i dagsläget krav på att leverera komponenter enligt FIFO (First In, First Out), som därmed är grunden till examensarbetet. Detta arbete har inte utgått från att implementera FIFO, utan att endast förbättra den befintliga…

peer-reviewed

It has been noted in Lee and Wu (2006) that competition has required the integration of supply chain members and resources through supply chain management (SCM) and that inventory control as a key component of SCM is no exception to this. One manner in which firms in a supply chain can integrate is through information sharing. New technologies have facilitated the movement and processing of data between partners such as electronic data interchange (EDI) in the past, through to more current tools such as on-time, real-time web based portals. In tandem with more readily available information and data, methods for utilisation of such have been explored in research and practice. An array of literature now exists on various aspects of information enabled supply chain management and information enabled inventory control. Considering this, we have proposed a dissertation in the field of information sharing in capacitated assembly supply chains focusing on the inventory control mechanisms applied within. A case study based around a contract manufacturer in the electronics industry provides a vehicle for testing the information sharing propositions within a realistic supply chain. It is complicated on the supply side by multiple suppliers, constrained capacity and varied delivery lead times, and on the demand side by stochastic periodic demand and unpredictable short-lived upturns or spikes in end item demand. The case study partner also experiences the complications of being the convergent partner/node in an assembly system. It orders components from nine independent suppliers to be combined into a single product which is assembled for an OEM. It is typical of many such companies in the multibillion euro electronics manufacturing services industry. The system is modelled in a simulation tool and assessed through a range of metrics, across an array of experimental control parameters all derived from the case study and literature. Important insights to the dynamics of the system are commented upon, and quantitative analysis is provided of the performance of the information enabled inventory control policies. Rather than being a panacea where ubiquitous information is simply available to all partners, successful information sharing to support supply chain management requires two key elements: (1) mechanisms of use of different types of information applied to change inventory policies, and knowledge of how these mechanisms interact with each other and (2) thorough analysis of the prevailing supply chain conditions as these influence the effectiveness of the mechanisms used. This contribution of this thesis is a comparison of information sharing options to inventory replenishment including a novel application of point of sale data, and the management of a buffer at the converging node based on lead-time and capacity information. It is shown that tailoring information sharing to the conditions, especially uncertainty, in supply-chain demand yields better performance. Demand characterisation was indicated as a…

▼ ããUnder the uncertain and fast-changing business environment with price hikes, growing expenses, shrinking margin benefits, and increasing risks, how to reduce various items of operating expenses and enhance operating efficiency has become the primary subject for modern enterprises. This paper conducted a research on 3C hypermarket with its commodity characteristics – high level of same configuration pattern and lots of alternative substitutes, as well as its sales characteristics – more and more hypermarket with increasingly bigger dimension, low standards for retail store to access to market, and the popular on-line shopping, which resulted in furious competitions and reductions of profits. During the era of narrow margin of profits, expenses control is more important than ever. ããWell commodity managements can enable us to know the inventory turnover rate, and to avoid loss from falling price, dull sale or commodity loss which could cause serious loss for the company, therefore we should establish an effective inventory system, and assist in internal control to reduce error and fraudulent practices, which will facilitate the rapid development of branches smoothly. ããThis paper took Company A as a typical case for studying 3C hypermarket, to conduct in-depth discussion on whether the brand new dynamic inventory system is more effective than ordinary inventory methods in managing inventory and meeting the requirement of internal control based on the consideration of cost and benefit. This research adopted the method of semi-structural in-depth interviews, to conduct analysis on the difference between the internal control as before and after the introduction, the impact of the introduction, and the reason and solution of the problems, etc, according to the framework containing five key factors of internal control in COSO report, such as control environment, risk appraisal, control activity, information and communication and monitoring as well as supervision. ããThe result of this research study indicated that after the case company introduced the dynamic inventory system, its operating expenses has been dramatically reduced, the number of abnormal adjustments of inventory has been decreased, while the efficiency of controlling and managing commodities has been enhanced. As for the internal control, it was shown that there were some items needed to be adjusted along with the changes in risks, including establishing the system of managing agent, implementing the mechanism of cross-managing confirmation, setting unified standard for commodity display and shelf exhibition, and putting the standard into effect, continuing serving the function of risk and error alert, putting relevant documents and files of operation and instruction in subject to centralized management, strengthen irregular field auditing and inventory test checking, reinforcing the chief manager checking and auditing system, ensuring staff to operate in conformity to procedure, enhancing the deploying of computer-assisted auditor and the knowledge related… Advisors/Committee Members: Fen-Hui Lin (chair), Hsin-Hui Lin (committee member), Jen-her Wu (chair).

▼ My dissertation focuses on stochastic dynamic inventory theory and its applications in inventory management, especially in perishable inventory systems. Essay 1: We apply the concept of multimodularity in three stochastic dynamic inventory problems in which state and decision variables are economic substitutes. The first is clearance sales of perishable goods. The second is sourcing from multiple suppliers· with different leadtimes. The third is transshipment under capacity constraints. In all three problems, we establish monotone optimal polices with bounded sensitivity. Multimodularity proves to be an effective tool for these problems because it implies substitutability, it is preserved under minimization, and it leads directly to monotone optimal policies with bounded sensitivity. Essay 2: We study joint replenishment and clearance sales of perishable goods under a general finite lifetime and a last-in-first-out (LIFO) issuing rule, a problem common in retailing. We show that the optimal policies can be characterized by two thresholds for each age group of inventory: a lower one and a higher one. For an age group of inventory with a remaining lifetime of two periods or longer, clearance sales may take place when its inventory level is above its higher threshold. There is no clearance sale if its inventory level is below its lower threshold and the inventory levels in all the fresher age groups are also below their corresponding lower thresholds. The optimal policy for the age group of inventory with a one-period remaining lifetime is different. Clearance sales may occur if its inventory level is above its higher threshold or below its lower threshold. The phenomenon that a clearance sale happens when the inventory is low is driven by the need to segregate the newest inventory from the oldest inventory and is unique to the LIFO issuing rule. The optimal policy requires a full inventory record of every age group and its computation is challenging. We consider two myopic heuristics that require only partial information. The first requires only the information about the total inventory and the second requires the information about the total inventory as well as the information about the inventory with a one-period remaining lifetime. Our numerical studies show that the second outperforms the first significantly and its performance is consistently very close to that of the optimal policy. Essay 3: Retailers of perishable goods are often faced with the choice between more expensive packaging that can extend shelf life of their products and less expensive packaging that cannot. Different choices will lead to different sales, costs, and waste, and different choices require different inventory control policies. In this paper, we study the coordination of inventory and packaging decisions in a retailing environment. Items in an active package have a longer lifetime than those in a regular package and cost more. We consider two types of customers: the selective customers only buy items with a sufficiently long remaining…

▼ This thesis investigates two issues in operations management. The first one is the impact of counterfeits and strategies of fighting counterfeits for brand name companies, which includes two parts, and the second one is the effect of timing of payments in a joint replenishment and pricing control problem. Counterfeiting is a widely spread phenomenon and has seen rapid growth in recent years. All counterfeits can be divided into two categories, non-deceptive and deceptive, depending on whether consumers can recognize them when making a purchase. In the first part, we focus on how non-deceptive counterfeits affect the price, market share and profitability of brand name products. We also consider the strategies for brand name companies to fight non-deceptive counterfeits, compare different fighting strategies in a market with one brand name product and its counterfeit, and derive equilibrium fighting strategies in a market with two competing brand name products and a counterfeit under general conditions. In the second part, we focus on how deceptive counterfeits affect a brand name manufacturer’s profit and supply chain structure. In a market with deceptive counterfeits, the brand name manufacturer should consider protective strategies on its supply chain to avoid being penetrated by counterfeits. We analyze a brand name manufacturer’s optimal decision on whether to establish a reliable distribution channel, decentralized or centralized, to guarantee 100% authenticity, and whether to sell through the general channel having been penetrated by counterfeits. We also compare the profit from a centralized reliable channel to the one from a decentralized one. In the third part, we consider the joint replenishment and pricing control problem in a periodic review system in which consumers pay upon receiving their goods and unmet demand is lost if not filled in the following period, referred to as conditional backlogging. We show that a base-stock list price policy is optimal in the case without a fixed ordering cost, and provide a sufficient condition for an (st, St, pt) policy to be optimal in the case with a positive fixed ordering cost. We also compare this system to the one where customers pay upon arrival analytically and numerically.

▼ Recent years have witnessed Reverse Supply Chain (RSC) become the center of attention for researchers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The fast depletion of virgin resources and the rapid increase of product returns from customers to original manufacturers for maintenance, repair or to be disposed of can be said to be one of the main reasons behind this interest. Electronics manufacturers have introduced state-of-the-art technologies in quick succession. As a result of this, the end-of-life (EOL) products returned by customers have grown significantly in volume. But often these EOL products are found to be in excellent working conditions (functional). Customers return them because of the various marketing programs or favorable incentives offered by service providers or manufacturers that create a "must have" sense in the minds of customers to acquire upgraded products. In the past two decades environmental concerns have influenced production processes, as environmental regulations have targeted pollution from industry. However, there is growing awareness that this may not be sufficient and it is increasingly recognized that the use and disposal phases, as well as the production phase of the product life cycle, are important. Environmentalists have always demanded that the manufacturing companies should take these products back and manage them in an environmentally conscious manner. End-of-Life (EOL) products can be remanufactured, reused, recycled, or disposed of. However, manufacturers have not invested or engaged themselves in such initiatives because of the uncertainty associated with the process.; Many corporations have understood the economic and environmental benefits of minimizing the use of virgin resources. Also, due to evolving environmental legislation, they have started to comprehend the importance of the recovery process and are taking serious steps in restructuring their supply chain processes to meet the new regulations. The idea behind the change is to use materials and parts more than once before they are finally discarded. Thus, effective supply chain management is vital in gaining a competitive edge over other corporations. The take-back process is clearly more environment friendly than the traditional forward supply chain process as it "closes the loop" of the supply chain process and transforms the EOL products into new serviceable products. This new portion of the supply chain is known as Reverse Supply Chain. It has been found that the original supplier is in the best position to control the return process. The reverse supply chain logistics model operates independently of the forward supply chain that delivered the original product.; In comparison to regular supply chain management, the management of reverse supply chain is more challenging because it is much more reactive and less visible. A major challenge is inventory control and value management of EOL products. Due to the disparity between demand for parts and materials and their line yields, the decision maker faces…
