In this study we investigate possible benefits of remanufacturing in inventory-related costs. In order to examine the conditions on different system parameters that make the remanufacturing option cost attractive, the return ratio is considered as a decision variable. The production environment, where the manufacturing and remanufacturing require both common and separate operations, together with the supplier's operations for the new parts and useful lifetime of the product is modeled as a queuing network. A cost model is constructed under certain environmental assumptions. In this paper, the analysis of the model and computational study carried out are discussed.

A model to evaluate inventory costs in a remanufacturing environment Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Güllü, Ahmet Refik (2000-08-20) In this study we investigate possible benefits of remanufacturing in inventory-related costs. In order to examine the conditions on different system parameters that make the remanufacturing option cost attractive, the return ratio is considered as a decision variable. The production environment, where the manufacturing and remanufacturing require both common and separate operations, together with the supplier's operations for the new parts and useful lifetime of the product is modeled as a queuing network. ...
A decision matrix based method for determining priorities of quality improvement projects in manufacturing with inspection error and rework Dolgun, Leman Esra; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) The purpose of this study was to develop a decision model for early-stage breast cancer patients. This model provides an opportunity for comparing two main treatment options, mastectomy and lumpectomy, with respect to quality of life by making use of Decision Theoretic Techniques. A Markov chain was constructed to project the clinical history of breast carcinoma following surgery. Then, health states used in the model were characterized by transition probabilities and utilities for quality of life. A Multi ...
A decision analytic model for early stage breast cancer patients: lumpectomy vs mastectomy Elele, Tuğba; Güven, Yusuf Çağlar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) The purpose of this study was to develop a decision model for early-stage breast cancer patients. This model provides an opportunity for comparing two main treatment options, mastectomy and lumpectomy, with respect to quality of life by making use of Decision Theoretic Techniques. A Markov chain was constructed to project the clinical history of breast carcinoma following surgery.

An experimental investigation of insurance decisions in low probability and high loss risk situations Özdemir, Özlem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-04-01) This experimental study investigates insurance decisions in low-probability, high-loss risk situations. Results indicate that subjects consider the probability of loss (loss size) when they make buying decisions (paying decisions). Most individuals are risk averse with no specific threshold probability.
A new approach to generating non-permutation schedules for flowshops with missing operations Tabalu, Metin; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) In this study, non-permutation flowshops with missing operations are considered. The primary performance criterion is the total cycle time (i.e. makespan) and the secondary criterion is the total flowtime. In order to obtain the schedule with minimum makespan and minimum total flowtime, non-permutation schedules are being generated instead of permutation ones by permitting multiple jobs bypassing stages where misisng operations occur. A heuristic algorithm has been developed in order to generate non-permuta...
