Newsboy problem with two-level disassembly system and stochastic lead time

EasyChair Preprint 2527

Abstract

Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in disassembly process research. This latter is characterized by uncertain processing times, probabilistic recovery rates of components as well as random lead times. 
In this work, we study the case of single-demand planning in a disassemble-to-order (DTO) environment. In order to fulfill demands for specific components, we disassemble an end-of-life (EoL) product whose real disassembly lead time is a random discrete variable. 
An exact method based on the well-known Newsboy formula is introduced to optimize the expected total cost which is composed of inventory and backlogging costs and determine the optimal disassembly schedule plan of the EoL product.
