In this study, value of quality information and the e ects of centralization are investigated for a reverse supply chain consisting of a remanufacturer and a collector. Used products are collected and inspected to classify them into quality groups, then they are remanufactured to meet the demand of remanufactured products. The supply of collected products and demand of remanufactured products are both price-sensitive. The uncertain quality of the collected products is revealed by an inspection process. Two quality classes are considered, and the cost of remanufacturing depends on the quality class. The main decisions are on acquisition fee for the returns, the selling price for remanufactured products, and the transfer prices of inspected products between the collector and the remanufacturer. For this environment, centralized and decentralized settings are considered and di erent models that di er in availability of quality information when the pricing decisions are made are built. We explore the value of advance quality information and e ects of centralization on the optimal prices and profits via a computational study.

Optimal pricing and production decisions in reusable container systems
Atamer, Büşra; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this study, we focus on pricing and production decisions in reusable container systems with stochastic demand. We consider a producer that sells a single product to the customers in reusable containers with two supply options: (i) brand-new containers, (ii) returned containers from customers. Customers purchasing the products may return the containers to the producer to receive a deposit price. The return quantity depends on both customer demand and the deposit price determined by the producer. Hence, th...
Managing production and lead time quotation with multiple demand classes
Sayın, Ece; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this study, we investigate several facets of a due-date quotation problem and develop a model considering jointly due-date quotation, order acceptance and base-stock decisions in a hybrid make-to-stock (MTS) / make-to-order (MTO) and multi-class system with lead time sensitive Poisson demand and exponentially distributed service times. We seek to maximize profit considering lateness penalties and holding costs in the model. We consider three alternative due-date quotation policies each having different p...
Competition and collaboration in service parts management systems
Usta, Meriçcan; Serin, Yaşar Yasemin; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Operational Research (2010)
Inventory management policies of two independent dealers in a service parts system with transshipment is studied in this thesis. Dealers can collaborate by pooling inventory or service. Revenue is shared in transshipment, can sometimes be contrary to profit maximization of one of the parties albeit sum of profits is increased. To assess the benefits of inventory pooling under equilibrium strategies, and the effect of competition on profits, a Markov Decision Process is formulated. A simpler variant of the o...
A Remanufacturing system with imperfect sorting: deterministic and probabilistic models
Tan, Merve; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Yüksel Özkaya, Banu; Department of Industrial Engineering (2018)
In this study, we focus on inaccurate sorting process with classification errors in a reverse supply chain comprising a remanufacturer and a collector under deterministic demand in a single time period. The collector acquires used items from end-users and the remanufacturer reproduces them to serve the deterministic demand of remanufactured products. There are two sources of uncertainty: uncertain quality of used items and uncertain quality of sorted items due to imperfect testing. Used items are categorize...
Periodic-review inventory systems with exogenous and endogenous replenishment lead times
Aşcı, Murtaza; Avşar, Zeynep Müge; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, two-echelon systems with exogenous and endogenous lead times are studied for the orders placed by the retailer(s) from the supplier. The retailer(s) employ periodic-review base-stock policy, namely (R,S) policy. For the case the demand during review period is i.i.d. and the probability distribution is Normal for each review period, a new method is proposed for exogenous lead time case under stationary policy. The results of the proposed method is then compared with the results of the existin...
