A simulation model to justify remanufacturing policies

摘要: To maintain a high level of service Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) provide more generous return policies for their products. However, discarding returned parts is neither economical nor environmentally desirable. As result there great need on remanufacturing aftermarket products from units. Two the factors that affect justification setting up after-market reproduction runs are flow rate and composition good parts. These stochastic functions production primary product reliability individual subassemblies. A closed form solution estimating these variables often difficult to develop. This paper presents general formulation simulation modeling such systems estimation
