Management of Recycling-Oriented Manufacturing Components Based on an MCDM Model

MCDM 모델을 이용한 재활용 제조부품 관리

Recycling of used products and components has been considered as one of promising strategies for resolving environmental problems. In this respect, most manufacturing companies begin to consider possible recycling (e.q., reuse or re-production) of the components contained in their products. The primary objective of this research is to develop a multiple criteria decision making model for systematic management of recycle-oriented manufacturing components. The production planning problem of recycle-oriented manufacturing components is first formulated as a multiobjective mixed 0-1 integer programming model with three conflicting objectives. An interactive multiple criteria decision making method is then developed for solving the mathematical model. Also, an Input/Output analysis software is developed to help practitioners apply the model to real problems without much knowledge on computers and mathematical programming. A numerical example is used in examining the validity of the proposed model and to investigate the impact of the input variables on recycling production strategy.
