Strategic Management of Spare Parts in Closed-Loop Supply Chains—A System Dynamics Approach

Abstract

We developed tools for information management and spare-parts management in closed-loop supply chains. Our Internet-based information and communication platform provides data relevant to recycling based on Agfa-Gevaert's concept of a “recycling passport.” We defined what data is relevant based on the product-recovery strategy. Using system dynamics, we modeled an integrated production and recovery system for supplying spare parts to evaluate possible strategies for meeting spare-parts demand for electronic equipment in the end-of-life service period. We will implement these instruments and methods in a pilot study within our partner companies, Agfa-Gevaert AG and Electrocycling GmbH. Decision makers at Agfa-Gevaert will then be able to determine whether and how recovering components could reduce costs in spare-parts management in the end-of-life service period.

  • Agfa-Gevaert AG implemented recycling passports in partnership with its suppliers and recyclers.

    “Agfa-Gevaert AG, an electrical and electronic equipment manufacturer based in Germany, implemented recycling passports in partnership with its suppliers and recyclers (Spengler and Schröter 2003).”
  • Agfa-Gevaert's recycling passports provided product data to recyclers for developing efficient disassembly and recycling strategies.

    “Its recycling passports provided product data to recyclers for developing efficient disassembly and recycling strategies.”
  • Some DPP use cases show that most effective and efficient value recovery can only be achieved if product designers intentionally consider facilitating sustainable disposal of end-of-life products.

    “Some DPP use cases show that most effective and efficient value recovery can only be achieved if product designers intentionally consider facilitating sustain able disposal of end-of-life products (Spengler and Schröter 2003).”
  • DPP may enable value recovery organisations to innovate their business models, for example, to collaborate with manufacturers in circular product design for more effective and efficient recycling operations.

    “In addition, DPP may enable value recovery organisations to innovate their business models, for example, to collaborate with manufacturers in circular pro duct design for more effective and efficient recycling operations (Spengler and Schröter 2003).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
