The design of reverse logistics and remanufacturing processes and the recovery of end-of-
life products have been well-studied in the literature. Quality, reliability, maintenance and …

Due to its economic and environmental benefits, the remanufacturing industry has become
vital and popular worldwide. The demand for remanufactured products highly depends on …

The consideration of uncertainty in closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) is a crucial aspect that
has been discussed frequently in recent research. Despite a wealth of literature on CLSC …

Upgrade operations are improvement actions that can be carried out on recovered end-of-
life systems to rejuvenate them and make them fit for subsequent lifecycles. These …

A cost model for optimal reliability improvement of warranted second-hand production
equipment is developed. The second-hand production equipment of age x is subjected to an …

In recent years, the concepts of sustainability and product service system have been closely
associated with each other. In today's competitive markets, due to Extended Producer …

Standard life cycle techniques such as life cycle warranty cost (LCWC) analysis and life
cycle analysis (LCA) are used to respectively quantify the relative economical and …

This paper reviews recent and relevant literature on the role of performability across the
sustainable value chain by first introducing pertinent material in green supply chains, life …

Remanufacturing processes such as refurbishing and reconditioning can extend the life of a
product returned from the field. This provides financial opportunities and allows …

This research investigates the case of a machine subject to a stochastic degradation. A
condition-based replacement policy is adopted to keep the system running. The …
