In this study, we consider a hybrid manufacturing-remanufacturing environment consisting of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Independent Remanufacturer (IR). OEM can produce both new and remanufactured products, whereas IR is only capable of remanufacturing. Market price is deterministic and decreasing linearly with total quantity supplied to the market. Remanufacturing yield increases with remanufacturability investment that has a cost which increases with the level of remanufacturability. Remanufacturing cost for a successfully remanufactured product decreases with increase in remanufacturability. We analyze this system in a twoperiod setting. OEM determines the level of investment in remanufacturability and the quantity of new products in the first period, which determines the quantity of returns in the second period. OEM and IR simultaneously determine their remanufacturing input quantities considering opponent’s action in the second period. Our objective is to investigate the effects of competition, sorting information availability and competition awareness on environmental and economic performances of this system. For this environment, models that differ in competition, sorting information availability and competition awareness are considered. Total system-wide profit and v ratio of remanufacturing output to total returns are used to represent economical and environmental performances, respectively. We explore the effects of various settings via a computational study.

The effect of inspection error on quality and producer losses: the case of nominal-the-best type quality characteristic and rework
Köksal, Gülser; Dolgun, Leman Esra; Batmaz, İnci (Inderscience Publishers, 2013-01-01)
In this study, the effect of inspection error (IE) on quality and producer losses is investigated for a nominal-the-best type quality characteristic determined by a manufacturing process centre with a separate rework unit. The probability distribution and the first two moments of the resulting quality characteristic values are derived and used together with Markov chain models and simulation to study the quality and producer losses and the related statistics for various processes and gage capability levels....
Implications of Direct Digital Manufacturing on Sustainable Supply Chain Management
Altekin, Fatma Tevhide; Yaman, Ulaş (null; 2018-10-26)
Advances in additive manufacturing over the last three decades has enabled an evolution in their use from rapid prototyping to the production of final products through direct digital manufacturing. As direct digital manufacturing facilitates the production of products directly from their digital model using additive manufacturing equipment, it carries a huge potential to change not only today’s manufacturing but also supply chains. Recently, managing sustainable supply chains to respond to increasing pressu...
Integrating knowledge with suppliers at the R D manufacturing interface
ROSELL, DAVID T; LAKEMOND, NICOLETTE; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (Emerald, 2014-02-01)
Purpose - Many manufacturing firms source components and subsystems from suppliers. Consequently, the suppliers' product and manufacturing knowledge is a central concern at the interface between R&D and manufacturing. This paper aims to specifically investigate how supplier knowledge is integrated and what role trust plays in knowledge integration with suppliers at the R&D-manufacturing interface. Design/methodology/approach - The study is based on qualitative case studies of two different collaborations w...
Effects of cyclic strain hardening on performance of eccentrically braced frames
Balıkçı, Elif Müge; Topkaya, Cem (2021-12-01)
Performance based seismic design (PBSD) procedures have been developed in recent years. Studies conducted in the past revealed that strain hardening ratio (SHR) used in numerical modeling can be influential on the performance of steel structural systems. In this paper, the effects of SHR on the performance assessment of eccentrically braced frame (EBF) buildings were studied by using FEMA P-58 methodology. The numerical model was validated using the pseudo-dynamic test results of the DUAREM structure. Seism...
Assessing the benefits of remanufacturing option under one-way substitution
Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Gullu, R (Informa UK Limited, 2005-03-01)
In this study, we consider a segmented market for a product that can either be manufactured or remanufactured. It is assumed that the remanufactured products can be substituted by the new ones. A steady-state profit model is constructed under certain environmental assumptions on capacity requirements of operations, and revenue and cost schemes. Exact steady-state probabilities of the Markovian model constructed are solved via matrix geometric techniques. An extensive computational study is performed to inve...
