Reverse Supply Chains for Commercial Returns
TL;DR: In this article, a reverse supply chain is designed to minimize the marginal value of time for a returned product, where the longer it takes to retrieve a returned item, the lower the chances that there are financially attractive reuse options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Value of Commercial Product Returns
TL;DR: This paper presents a network flow with delay models that includes the marginal value of time to identify the drivers of reverse supply chain design and examines how industry clockspeed generally affects the choice between an efficient and a responsive returns network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supply Chain Strategies for Perishable Products: The Case of Fresh Produce
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined supply chain design strategies for a specific type of perishable product (fresh produce) using melons and sweet corn as examples, and showed that the appropriate model to minimize lost value in the supply chain is a hybrid of a responsive model from post-harvest to cooling, followed by an efficient model in the remainder of the chain.

Time-based competition : the next battleground in American manufacturing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how to eliminate wasted time from every function that affects the delivery of products to the customers, and how time compression can reduce costs and improve quality in a firm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Acquisition and Sorting Policies for Remanufacturing
TL;DR: The existence of a single optimal acquisition and sorting policy with a simple structure is shown and it is shown that this policy is independent of production amount when acquisition costs are linear.
