Abstract

This chapter presents a methodology to evaluate the benefit of using sensors in closed-loop supply chains. Sensors can be embedded into products to collect helpful information during their use and end-of-life (EOL) phases. This information can subsequently be employed to estimate the remaining lives of components and products and to ensure that proper maintenance is provided to avoid premature failures. The information is also useful in determining the quality of the components and products when planning EOL operations such as disassembly, inspection, and remanufacturing. To statistically illustrate these benefits, discrete event simulation is employed to a case study consisting of regular and sensor-embedded refrigerator systems. A design of experiments study is then employed where experiments are run to compare the two systems. The results reveal that the sensor-embedded systems perform much better than the regular systems in terms of disassembly costs, inspection costs, and EOL profits generated by selling the remanufactured products and components.

嵌入式传感器冰箱闭环供应链系统设计

本章提出了一种方法来评估在闭环供应链中使用传感器的好处。传感器可以嵌入到产品中，在产品使用和生命周期结束阶段收集有用的信息。这些信息随后可用于估计部件和产品的剩余寿命，并确保提供适当的维护以避免过早失效。在规划EOL操作(如拆卸、检查和再制造)时，这些信息对于确定组件和产品的质量也很有用。为了统计地说明这些好处，离散事件模拟被用于一个由常规和嵌入式传感器冰箱系统组成的案例研究。然后采用实验研究的设计，在实验中运行以比较两个系统。结果表明，传感器嵌入式系统在拆卸成本、检测成本以及销售再制造产品和部件所产生的EOL利润方面比常规系统表现得更好。
