Capacity and buffer trade-offs in a remanufacturing system

Capacity and buffer trade-offs in a remanufacturing system

In this paper, we examine the tradeoffs between increasing the number of buffers and increasing the capacity at the remanufacturing stations under numerous circumstances on such performance measures as expected total cost, average WIP inventory, throughput and average processing (remanufacturing) ti...
