An NPV and AC Analysis of a Stochastic Inventory System with Joint Manufacturing and Remanufacturing

Abstract

While the net present value (NPV) approach is widely accepted as the right framework for studying production and inventory control systems, average cost (AC) models are more widely used. For the well known EOQ model it can be veri_ed that (under certain conditions) the AC approach gives near optimal results. This paper investigates whether the same holds for two-source systems with joint manufacturing and remanufacturing. It appears that the performance of the AC approach stands or falls with the right choice of the holding cost parameters. Through the analysis of a deterministic model a theoretical basis is provided for choosing the parameters. Then, given this set of holding cost parameters, the performance of the AC approach is tested in a stochastic model.
