In this study we consider a disassembly and recovery facility receiving end-of-life products and facing demand for a specific part that is disassembled from the product and then recovered. The disassembly and recovery operations can be either performed before hand, or upon customer arrival. In the latter case, a discount on the selling price is applied to compensate the customer for waiting for the completion of the disassembly and recovery operations. One of the dificulties faced in planning for such a system is the determination of the opportunity cost associated with carrying recovered parts inventory. The dificulty arises in seeking the value added to the part given the costs incurred for maintaining the product return, disassembly and recovery costs and revenue earned from the hulk, that is the remaining product after the disassembly of the part. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of different rules to determine this opportunity cost on the performance of the system. Six rules are considered in the study. The performance of the rules is assessed by a computational study under an approximate inventory control policy.

Capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems: branch and bound based approaches ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This study considers an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in flexible manufacturing systems. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the available tools are limited. Our objective is to maximise total weight of assigned operations. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that finds the optimal solutions and a beam search algorithm that finds high quality solutions in polynomial time.
Rebalancing the assembly lines with total squared workload and total replacement distance objectives Girit, Utku; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01) Assembly line balancing is an important and well recognised operations research problem. The current line balance may not stay optimal, even feasible, due to the disruptions in one or more workstations. In this study, after the disruption, we aim to rebalance the assembly line by considering the trade-off between workload balancing (fairness measure) and total replacement distance for the tasks assigned to the different workstations (stability measure). We try to generate all non-dominated objective functio...
Investigation of process-affected zone in ultrasonic embossing of microchannels on thermoplastic substrates Sucularli, Ferah; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Yıldırım, Ender (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) In this paper, the process-affected zone in ultrasonically embossed thermoplastic substrates is investigated both numerically and experimentally. Commercialization of microfluidic devices challenges the need for high-speed manufacturing of plastic chips. Ultrasonic embossing is considered as an alternative method since the cycle time can be as low as a few seconds per chip while keeping the cost relatively low. To examine the ultrasonic embossing process, experiments were carried out to replicate 200 mu m w...
Assessing the benefits of remanufacturing option under one-way substitution and capacity constraint Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Gullu, Refik (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01) In this article, we investigate the profitability of remanufacturing option when the manufactured and remanufactured products are segmented to different markets and the production capacity is finite. A single period profit model under substitution is constructed to investigate the system conditions under which remanufacturing is profitable. We present analytical findings and computational results to show profitability of remanufacturing option under substitution policy subject to a capacity constraint of th...
A Lagrangean relaxation based approach for the capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01) This study considers the operation assignment and capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. A set of operations is selected to be processed and assigned to the machines together with their required tools. The purchase or usage of the required tools incurs a cost. The machines have scarce time and tool magazine capacities. The objective is to maximize the total weight of the assigned operations minus the total tooling costs. We use Lagrangean relaxation approach to obtain upper and lower...
