The variety of encoding schemes in the modern logistics industry slows down the pace of supply chain. EPC which provides a better solution to supply chain adopts a set of identifiers to stand for manufacturers and their products. This article has analyzed many kinds of coding schemes in details and carried out transformation between other encoding schemes and EPC. A code transformation system based...
Outbound logistics usually involve the management of truck activities from guiding the trucks into the plant, assigning parking area for waiting and scheduling trucks for loading. However, some problems exist in the current FIFO (first in, first out) loading scheme. It is because when trucks arrive at the loading bay for loading, some products have not been finished with some percent still on the...
An optimal control problem for collecting used products was considered in a reverse logistics system when a remanufacturing firm faced random arrivals and deterministic demands for used products. The remanufacturing firm purchased used products to remanufacture, which made firm control the returns of used products. Firstly, a multi-period inventory system with random input which was controlled by...
For a remanufacturing reverse logistics system, the buy-back policy was considered, i.e., the remanufacturing firm will purchase used products to remanufacture, which make firm control the return of used product. A single product two-stage inventory control problem with random supply and random demand was proposed. The joint optimal dynamic decision of collection price and remanufacturing quantity...
The importance of remanufacturing used products into new ones has been widely recognized in the literature and in practice. In this paper, the coordination problem of supply chain with differentiated new and remanufactured product, composed of a single manufacturer and a single retailer, was considered. The optimal decisions of the manufacturer were got under different conditions. Itpsilas found that...
The importance of remanufacturing used products into new ones has been widely recognized in the literature and in practice. In this paper, a model with two competing manufacturers is discussed. In the forward logistics, the manufacturers face the demand with linear down-sloping functions. In the reverse logistics, each manufacturer need to determine whether to invest for collecting his returned items...
