Working Paper
This paper deals with the uncertainty in the quality of the goods used as inputs in the remanufacturing shop. The manager in this job shop has to select an efficient procedure to determine whether a given part can be recovered and sent to the assembly line. Such procedure may identify bad parts earlier or later in the recovery process, as a function of the process design. Different scenarios are compared, where knowledge acquisition happens at different times in the recovery process, gaining insights about the importance of information systems in remanufacturing.
