| Tiivistelmä: | This survey addresses the logistics of industrial reuse of products and materials from an operational research perspective. Reuse occurs in a large diversity of forms and not all reuse activities necessarily require new planning approaches. Traditional methods from the fields of distribution planning, inventory control, and production planning can readily be applied to a number of planning problems arising in the new context. Not all reuse activities fit into the traditional setting: some situations need new planning methods. The interaction of the new reverse material flows and the traditional forward flows adds complexity to the systems involved. To handle uncertainty adequately is one of the major tasks in the planning of reuse activities. In his context information technology may play an important role. |
