Operational Processes

In the past, many companies were concerned with managing activities primarily along the traditional supply chain to optimize operational processes and thereby economic benefits, without considering new economic or environmental opportunities in relation to the reverse supply chain and the use of used or reclaimed products. In contrast, companies are now showing increased interest in reverse logistics and closed loop supply chains (CLSCs) and their economic benefits and environmental impacts. In this chapter, our focus is the study of remanufacturing activity, which is one of the main recovery methods applied to closed loop supply chains. Specifically, the authors investigate and evaluate strategies for effective management of inventory control and production planning of a remanufacturing system. To pursue this objective, they model a production and inventory system for remanufacturing using the System Dynamics (SD) simulation modeling approach. The authors primary interest is in the returns process of such a system. Case studies will be referred to in this chapter to support some of the findings and to further validate the developed model.

Bullwhip effect is a serious problem in supply chain management, it brings about production disorder, inventory imbalance, business process obstruction, waste of resources and market chaos. Our processed oil supply chain is so a large complicated system that bullwhip effect of it is more serious. To deal this problem, this paper discussed China processed oil supply chain, aim at maintaining processed oil supply, analysed the strength of bullwhip effect in the chain, proved delay is the basic reason of bullwhip effect and pointed out reducing delay is the key point to weaken bullwhip effect. We used system dynamics analysis and Anylogic simulation software to get the conclusion. Finally, we put forward some effective strategies to deal with bullwhip effect in China processed oil supply chain for improving the chain's operating efficiency.
