This study investigates two-stage return policy and recycling issues in an e-marketplace supply chain consisting of consumers, a retailer and a manufacturer. The manufacturer, a focal company in the e-marketplace supply chain, considers the recycling of commercial returns so offers the retailer a buy-back contract of which transfer payment consists of a wholesale price and a buy-back price. Then, under the given contract offer, the retailer determines a selling price and a return policy to control consumers' demand and return requests. We consider the retailer's opportunistic behavior and supply chain coordination issues based on the principal-agent paradigm. We compare the first-best and second-best optima and conduct comparative static analyses to evaluate the performance results of the buy-back contract and provide important managerial implications.

JIT(just-in-time) 생산시스템은 제조라인의 재공품 재고량을 최소화하고, 필요한 품목을 적시에 필요한 양만큼만 생산하여 공급하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 시스템은 사용하는 칸반의 수에 따라 single-card kanban system과 two-card kanban system으로 구별할 수 있다. 또한 각 공정이 입력버퍼(input buffer)와 출력버퍼(output buffer)를 갖는 경우와 공정간에 하나의 버퍼를 갖는 경우로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 기계간의 물류(material handling)가 필요한 시점에 즉시 이루어진다는 가정하에 기계간 버퍼가 하나이고, 그 버퍼의 용량이 1인 경우의 single-card kanban의 효율적인 운용방안을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 생산지시칸반의 회수시기를 적절히 조절하여 생산라인의 이용효율(utilization)을 극대화하고자 하는 것이다. 칸반회수시기 결정을 위한 상황분석의 범위를 10대의 기계로 제한하여 시뮬레이션에 의해 분석하였다. 기존의 칸반운영방식과 생산라인에서의 재고를 최소화하는 운영 알고리듬, 그리고 생산기계의 효율을 최대화할 수 있는 운영 알고리듬을 개발하여 비교.분석하였다.

Most previous studies considering inventory models for imperfect quality assumed that defective items could be completely detected by inspection and fixed before delivery to customers. This makes it difficult to adopt their research results to practice. This study reduces the assumption of perfect inspection, and presents an inventory model considering reverse logistics caused by imperfect inspection. System dynamics model is used to describe complex and dynamic problem and to show the effect of imperfect inspection on profit by simulation. Then, this article provides a guideline for the inspection policy which provides the maximum profit.

Reducing the logistic cost may be accomplished by numbers of logistic management methods, but the most fundamental and essential one is the accomplishment of the consistent reverse logistics system that is the core of worker performance system, and the purpose of consistent reverse system is the treatment of logistic functions such as transportation, storage and unloading with consistent logistics, and increasing the turnover ratio is required for the improvement of the system. As the turnover ratios is increased, this paper make reverse worker performance evaluation system with lifetime value include of weight variables.

When the electrical appliances such as TVs and refrigerators become obsolete, they must be collected to the recycling centers to avoid environmental damages. The obsolete home appliances are first moved to the regional collection point; and then transported to one of the recycling centers. Each recycling center has a limited capacity; and some recycling centers can process only certain types of products. For given locations of the existing collection points and recycling centers, optimally assigning the obsolete home appliances of each type from each collection point to the recycling centers can significantly reduce the total transportation cost. We formulate this problem as an LP problem. We also present an approach to determine the locations of additional recycling centers in order to alleviate the over-utilization of the current recycling centers.

In order to generate a renewable energy-Methane, anaerobic systems fed with source separated food waste from university cafeteria were studied. At first, four reactors were evaluated with same feed components; content non-mixing anaerobic reactor without leachate withdrawal/recirculation, content mixing anaerobic reactor without leachate withdrawal/recirculation, content non-mixing anaerobic reactor with leachate withdrawal/recirculation and content mixing anaerobic reactor with leachate withdrawal/recirculation. From the first study, content non-mixing anaerobic reactor with leachate withdrawal/recirculation showed the highest gas production. From further study with this system, it was observed that leachate permeation rate within anaerobic reactor was very important factor for gas generation. The higher permeation rate, the more gas production was observed. It is assumed that 1kg of gas collector weight and C/N ration above 10 in food waste may cause gas consumption in the anaerobic reactor. The gas consumption was estimated by negative pressure build-up at gas collector. The negative pressure build-up must be explained to produce Methane from Food Waste.

The Global economic development and high levels of industrialization force many companies to consider an adoption of GSCM. This study investigates characteristics of GSCM focused on the environmental management of distribution companies. The purposes of this study are as follows; first, we examine environmental factors of GSCM companies, and relationships between environmental factors and environmental performance. The environmental factors of GSCM companies were assorted into supplier, marketing, competitor, internal business environment, and eco-design. Second, we study the influences of environmental factors on the environmental performance in the GSCM companies according to the agility. 118 questionnaires collected from distribution companies based on GSCM, and the research model was tested by Smart PLS. The results of this study are as follows; first, the GSCM environmental factors like supplier, marketing, competitor, internal business environment, and eco-design had a positive effect on the environmental performance. Second, the environmental factors like marketing and competitor had a positive effect on the environmental performance according to the agility. These results could provide useful guidelines for distribution companies and academic implications for researchers.

This paper presents the simulation design and analysis of Integrated Logistics System(ILS) which is operated by using the AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). To maximize the operation performances of ILS with AGV, many parameters should be considered such as the number, velocity, and dispatching rule of AGV, part types, scheduling, and buffer sizes. We established the design of experiment in a way of Orthogonal Array in order to consider (1)maximizing the throughput; (2)maximizing the vehicle utilization; (3)minimizing the congestion; and (4)maximizing the Automated Storage and Retrieval System(AS/RS) utilization among various critical factors. Furthermore, we performed the optimization by using the simulation-based analysis and Evolution Strategy(ES). As a result, Orthogonal Array which is conducted far fewer than ES significantly saved not only the time but the same outcome when compared after validation test on the result from the two methods. Therefore, this approach ensures the confidence and provides better process for quick analysis by specifying exact experiment outcome even though it provides small number of experiment.

The IPv6 which solved the exhaustion problem of IPv4's IP address is going to be used for many kinds of industries. As a result, there are some products which can be connected to other connectable things, it called Internet of Things (IoT). With growing new propagated products including networking, each product can get an IP address of IPv6, which means it is possible that things also have their own IP addresses. Thus, IP address management system is more important and needs tracking and collecting system for unused products with IP addresses. This study suggests new distribution tracking and inventory management system for IoT products, which offers a current location of things and manages stocks in the warehouse with the static IP address and the location-based service.

This study shows how the logistics capability of container terminal impacts with service quality and customer response. Result of this study would be utilized in marketing strategy for container terminal. Sample design is based on shipping companies which are registered in Korea Shipowners' Association and Korea Shipmanagers' Association from Dec. 5 through 23 in 2011. And total of 243 questionnaires are collected through a personal visit. The result of empirical analysis, management capability of logistics capability factor which have an effect on service quality and customer response is the biggest influence to them. At the same time, Sympathy of service quality factor which have an effect on customer response is the biggest influence to it. Therefore, customers' requirements would be analyzed specifically when loading and unloading plans are devised in container terminal, and based on customers' requirements, best customer service would be provided.
