The Inventory Research Including Recycling Reverse Logistics

Because of the strategy of sustainable development and recycling economy, a lot of enterprises actively joined reverse logistics including recycling and remanufacturing. In the supply chain management , the enterprises in the neighborhood of supply chain act as vendor and buyer respectively. If the management decisions can't be coordinated among these enterprises, the effectiveness of whole supply chain will receive serious impact. Therefore, How to coordinate the relations among the enterprises is always an important subject.The inventory management including reverse logistics becomes more complex,because of recycling and remanufacturing costs. Meanwhile the uncertainty of recycling materials and its processing time makes inventory decision harder. In this paper, we consider the inventory management problem by integrating the links in supply chain material supplier, vendor and buyer as one system. We add recycling and remanufacturing , change the existing model parameters and further the models. It is concluded that cooperating and sharing information is a better method to optimize their profits or costs.The different kinds of models established in our paper not only can enrich inventory research content in supply chain management, but also can supervise practical manufacturing. In addition, these models have some reference value for management decision of supply chain administrator. Its follow-up study can discuss recycling rate or multiple ways of dealing with recycling marerials.
