“…We have attempted to test a number of rules which performed well in studies of assembly environments, as well as several rules developed speci® cally for a remanufacturing shop. Job due date based rules have performed consistently well with respect to a number of performance measures in many studies (Goodwin and Goodwin 1982, Goodwin and Weeks 1984, Fry et al 1989, Philipoom et al 1989 …”

“…The study was limited to the performance of due date based priority dispatching rules (Philipoom et al 1989). Fry et al (1989) found that there were statistically signi® cant di erences between product structure types. Three basic clases of product structure;¯at, tall and complex, were examined in a mixed environment with a mix of dispatching rules.…”

Recoverable manufacturing is becoming an increasingly important alternative to ® rms as they develop environmentally sound strategies aimed at minimizing waste and resources. Remanufacturing helps minimize costs and conserve resources through methods such as extending product life cycles via refurbishments and technical upgrades which require the use of only a fraction of the resources and energy associated with a new product. In this study the impact of product structure complexity on other managerial operating decisions is examined in a remanufacturing environment. It is shown that in the remanufacturing environment, with its greater inherent uncertainty, product structure complexity signi® -cantly a ects the choice of scheduling policies used. Recommendations as to the scheduling policy to use for a dominant product structure in a given environment are made.

“…The authors applied recursively stage by stage the approximate expression for two stage assembly developed by Song et al (2002). The method is evaluated by comparing it with extensions to existing heuristic methods TWKCP (total work on the critical path) and SLKCP (total work with slack on the critical path) to estimate the product due dates for assemblies (Fry et al 1989, Smith et al 1995, Roman and Valle 1996. Simulation examples verify the effectiveness of this method.…”

Abstract:In literature, most papers examine several stochastic demand processes where order lead times are constant. In reality, manufacturing firms use inventory management software, especially MRP, which ignored lead time uncertainty. It is true that in certain special cases, lead time uncertainty has essentially no effect and can be ignored. Nevertheless more often, lead time fluctuations strongly degrade tools performance and cause high production costs, just as demand uncertainty does. Seemingly, uncertainty has been neglected for a long time in favour of studying demand uncertainties. Industry agrees that it is overdue and there is a need to rectify this oversight. Nowadays, this gap in research activity begins to be filled in order to respond to companies having non-deterministic lead-times constraints. This paper reviews some of existing literature of supply planning tools under uncertainty of lead times. The extensive literature review that we compiled consists of citations from 1970 to 2012. A classification scheme for supply planning under uncertainty is defined.

“…Recently, Reeja and Rajendran (2000a,b) came up with the operation synchronization date (OSD) rule, and found the rule to be better than the RRP and IR rules for tie-breaking when the TWKR rule is the primary one. The effect of product structures on the performance of the dispatching rules (Fry, Oliff, Minor, & Leong, 1989) and dynamic assignment of due-date without the use of parameters (Adam, Bertrand, Morehead, & Surkis, 1993) are other important contributions in the assembly job-shop environment.…”
