碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 91 === There is a growing consensus that reverse logistics should be regarded as a portion of business logistics as the green marketing concept emerges. A comprehensive logistics operational framework is proposed and followed by the formulation of an optimization-based model, which is proposed to deal with the integrated logistics operational problems of IT industry. To start with, research and analyze the channels of IT industry and the relationships among members in it. Next, an integrated logistics model is formulated that maximizes total integrated logistics system operating profit subject to constraints that take into account such internal and external factors as business operating strategies and governmental regulations. The integrated logistics model, the trade-off between those objectives must be considered, is for executives to manage the integrated logistics system in IT industry. A case study about notebooks makes it clear how the integrated logistics model is employed. Then, several sensitivity analyses have shown the rational ranges of recycle fees and subsidies; how the optimal return ratio responds to the weight. Besides, the results of scenario analyses also reveal that the current policy, governmental involvement, is better for the integrated logistics system. Finally, it is precisely on such comprehensive evaluations that this study claims that Recycling Management Fund of the Environmental Protection Administration should subsidize as much as possible, under rational consideration, to achieve a better performance in the integrated logistics system.
