“…The main difficulty in this research stream is to model the job shop in a meaningful, generalized way. Guide, Srivastava and Kraus studied regular and expedited schedule, inventory buffer and capacity planning in simulated remanufacturing scenarios based on Air Force aviation depots (Guide et al, 1997a(Guide et al, , 1997b. These studies generally recommended best approaches to schedule the disassembly-repair-reassembly sequence considering the uncertainty of the process.…”

“…The answer to these questions would, a priori, depend on several factors, such as the configuration of the shop (i.e., number of machines, routing, processing times) and the bill of materials of the products. So, such questions have been tackled using simulation (e.g., Guide et al [40], [41]). The basic insight is that simple release rules-such as the order of disassembly-perform reasonably well and are recommended due to their simplicity.…”

“…Again, most of the research uses discrete-time simulation, where the performance of a reasonably complex shop and product structure is studied. In two studies, Guide et al [40], [41] analyze different bill of materials (i.e., product structure trees) in a job shop with disassembly, 10 remanufacturing stations, and reassembly; in their study there are also serial-number-specific products, where all parts in a remanufactured product must be the same ones disassembled earlier (i.e., they all have the same serial number). They find that earliest-due-date type of scheduling rules perform well, although product structure impacts performance.…”

In this tutorial I present an overview of closed-loop supply chains, which are supply chains where there are flows of products (postpurchase) back to manufacturers. Examples include supply chains with consumer returns and leasing options. I start by defining basic terms: differences with respect to forward chains, sources of product returns, disposition options for product returns (scrap, recycling, reuse, cannibalization for spare parts, and remanufacturing), strategic, tactical, and operational issues, along with regulatory and legislative issues. I then provide a brief overview of current practices, particularly regarding the state of remanufacturing in select industries: personal computers and peripherals, B2B information technology equipment, tires, and construction equipment (Caterpillar). I review the extant academic literature on closed-loop supply chains, particularly as it regards to business and management aspects, with less of a focus on environmental practices. Finally, I conclude with some directions for future research.

“…Scheduling using various priority dispatching rules and the Drum-Buffer-Rope method were compared by using simulation and ANOVA analysis [6], [9]. However, it was concluded that a specifically designed framework and the corresponding models were lacking for the production planning and control of remanufacturing systems [9].…”

Abstract-Overhaul and repair services are important segments of the remanufacturing industry, and are characterized by complicated disassembly, repair and assembly process plans, stochastic operations, and the usage of rotable inventory. In view of today's time-based competition, effectively scheduling such services and managing rotable inventory and uncertainties are becoming imperative to achieve on-time deliveries and low overall costs. In this paper, a novel formulation for overhaul and repair services is presented where key characteristics, such as uncertain asset arrivals and operation processing times, and rotable parts are abstracted to model an overhaul center and multiple repair shops in a distributed framework to reflect organizational structures. Interactions between the overhaul center and repair shops are described by sets of coupling constraints across the organizations. Rotable inventory dynamics is formulated in terms of repair operation completion times and asset assembly beginning times to facilitate minimization of inventory holding costs through scheduling. A solution methodology combining Lagrangian relaxation, stochastic dynamic programming, and heuristics is developed to schedule operations in a coordinated manner to minimize total tardiness, earliness, and inventory holding costs. Additionally, penalty terms associated with coupling constraint violations are introduced to the objective function to improve algorithm convergence and schedule quality, and a surrogate optimization framework is used to overcome the inseparability difficulty caused by the penalty terms. Numerical testing results show that the new approach is computationally effective to handle rotable inventory and uncertainties, and provides high quality schedules with low overall costs for stochastic remanufacturing systems.Note to Practitioners-Overhaul and repair services for jet engines, helicopters, airplanes, are important segments of the remanufacturing industry, and are characterized by complicated disassembly, repair and assembly process plans, stochastic operations, and the usage of rotable inventory. In view of today's highly competitive business climate, effectively scheduling such services and managing rotable inventory and uncertainties are becoming critical to achieve on-time deliveries and low overall costs. In this paper, a novel formulation for overhaul and repair services is presented where key characteristics, such as uncertain asset
