Abstract

A discussion on the non-optimality of the average cost approach for inventory models with remanufacturing was presented. In the development of discounted cash flow (DCF) model many costs such as manufacturing, remanufacturing, disposal, and holding costs were employed. The use of discount rate times, capital tied up in a product and the out of pocket holding cost rate for reverse logistics inventory models was also analyzed.
