摘要: Abstract In this paper, we investigate the effect of remanufacturing on capacity and production decisions. Inspired by situation for a specific car company, analyze two-period model with manufacturing in both periods option second period to remanufacture products that are returned/collected at end first period. We foremost focus case where is less costly intensive than manufacturing. This setting realistic obviously one most beneficial. Optimal quantities derived it analyzed under what conditions (specified costs, restrictions demand) leads increased total production. also consider cases either more or manufacturing, contrast results those our main case. One particularly insightful find seldom (very) profitable if hence companies should their attention situations lowers costs.
