Multi-conditioned and capacitated production planning model for remanufacturing system

This paper discusses the remanufacturing process which takes different quality conditions of disassembled parts and different capacity conditions of remanufacturing production lines into account. We propose a simple multi-conditioned and capacitated production planning model for remanufacturing system, and develop a mixed integer programming model to minimize the total cost of the capacitated remanufacturing system, including the inventory holding cost, the operation cost, and the set up cost. The model is validated by an illustrative example with a set of experimental data and considering lots of special situations. Its results are presented by using the math programming software Lingo 10.0.
