Integration of channel decisions in a decentralized reverse production system with retailer collection under deterministic non-stationary demands

Chanjoo Lee, Matthew Realff, Jane Ammons

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 88-102

The inclusion of return flows of postconsumer materials into a forward supply chain system poses many challenging questions arising from the interaction between the forward and return flows of materials. This paper presents a model that integrates pricing, production, and inventory decisions in a reverse production system (RPS) with retailer collection. The returned products are assumed valuable to...

A model for quantifying the value of RFID-enabled equipment tracking in hospitals

Xiuli Qu, LaKausha T. Simpson, Paul Stanfield

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 23-31

US hospitals spend millions of dollars on lost, misplaced and stolen equipment every year. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology provides potential solutions to this problem. The nation’s top healthcare providers installing RFID have demonstrated the benefits of RFID. However, most other providers have not followed suit due to the lack of models available to provide measurable steps in...

Optimal layout and deployment for RFID systems

Han-Pang Huang, Ying-Ting Chang

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 4-10

With increasing applications of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, reliability requirements for the deployment of RFID readers have become more critical. For a robust deployment of a RFID network, a systematic solution was proposed in this paper. To simplify the reader deployment problem, instead of the traditional 2D circle-like shape assumption, the ellipse/ellipsoid-like shape was...

Using patent data for technology forecasting: China RFID patent analysis

Charles V. Trappey, Hsin-Ying Wu, Fataneh Taghaboni-Dutta, Amy J.C. Trappey

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 53-64

China is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and consumers of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. Current estimates show that China will need over 3billion RFID tags to satisfy demand in the year 2009. The applications for RFID patents have spread across a very diverse range of inventions and in the future it is likely that most products manufactured in China will contain an RFID...

An RFID-based Shopping Service System for retailers

Jiang-Liang Hou, Ting-Gin Chen

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 103-115

Modern markets have put intensive effort on commodity arrangement in order to satisfy the consumer demands on commodity purchase. However, most markets do not provide satisfactory shopping services to customers. For instance, without a customized shopping recommendation for each individual customer, consumers have to spend a lot of time for commodity selection. Furthermore, most large-spaced markets...

A comprehensive multi-factor analysis on RFID localization capability

Junyi Zhou, Jing Shi

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 32-40

The concept of using radio frequency identification (RFID) devices to obtain the location information of objects is novel, and it has great potentials for supply chain applications. The capability of RFID localization, reflected by localization accuracy, is a fundamental issue. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis on how the accuracy is affected by multiple factors, which include region geometry,...

Applying back propagation network to cold chain temperature monitoring

Kai-Ying Chen, Yi-Cheng Shaw

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 11-22

Recently, the enhancement of contactless, real-time features and high data transmission rates in supply chain management has been widely discussed. Notably, the cold chain is a part of the supply chain in which temperature monitoring plays a vital role in the system while automatic data collection is an essential aspect of cold chain management. As such, automatic data collection methods, such as...

Systems for sustainability and transparency of food supply chains – Current status and challenges

P.M. (Nel) Wognum, Harry Bremmers, Jacques H. Trienekens, Jack G.A.J. van der Vorst, more

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 65-76

Food chains need to become more sustainable to regain and retain consumer trust after several food incidents and scandals that have taken place in the past. Consumers increasingly wish to be informed about the safety of their food, its origin, and the sustainability of the processes that have produced and delivered it. Sustainability comprises environmental issues (‘Planet’), social issues (‘People’),...

Design and implementation of RFID based air-cargo monitoring system

Yoon Seok Chang, Min Gyu Son, Chang Heun Oh

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 41-52

This paper deals with the design and implementation of radio-frequency identification (RFID) based cargo monitoring system which supports tracking and tracing in air-cargo operation. In order to apply a proper RFID technology, firstly we studied RF operational environment and tested different RFID frequencies. After finding a right technology (i.e. frequency), we designed and implemented tracking...

Rule-based recursive selective disassembly sequence planning for green design

Shana S. Smith, Wei-Hsiang Chen

Advanced Engineering Informatics > 2011 > 25 > 1 > 77-87

Disassembly sequence planning not only reduces product lifecycle cost, but also greatly influences environmental impact. Many prior green design research studies have focused on complete disassembly of an end-of-life product to recover valuable components. However, complete disassembly is often not practical or cost effective if only a few components will be recovered and recycled from a given product...
