Abstract
The disassembly economic order quantity problem is to determine the quantities of a product to be disassembled at different times over an infinite planning horizon by considering ordering, operation, and inventory costs. The demands for the components are independent, which can lead to accumulations of unnecessary inventories over time. This article proposes the models which integrate price-sensitive demands and disposal decisions in disassembly economic order quantity problems to maximize the profit of disassembly systems without inventory accumulations. Three models are developed and analyzed to obtain solution approaches that give prices, the replenishment cycle time (or, equivalently, the order quantity), and the disposal quantity. The inventory policy integrating both pricing and disposal decisions allows higher profits to be achieved. A numerical experiment shows its efficiency and highlights its potential implementation in practical cases.
