Tiivistelmä: | This study extends the PUSH and PULL strategies defined to include the option of product disposal. A numerical study indicated that disposal may be effective since it reduces the variability in the system inventories. As a result the total expected system costs will be lower than in a system without disposals. The cost reducing effect may already be present when the return rate is much lower than the demand rate. Although the PUSH- and PULL-disposal strategy are conceptually rather simple, they are not very robust to changes in the demand and return rates which occur during the successive stages of the product life-cycle. As a consequence infrequent revision of the control parameters may lead to unnecessarily high system costs in practice. |
