Remanufacturing logistics network design considering FTZ

With the establishment of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (CSPFTZ), double-overseas industrial pattern was studied for its influence on multinational companies in domestic. For remanufacture industry, Free Trade Zone (FTZ) had improved in some policies, such as import tariff, customs performance and timeliness of shipments. Regarding the remanufacturing network design considering FTZ as research subject, the maximum operating profit and the highest Logistics Performance Index (LPI) as objectives, an optimization model involving recovery ratio reflected by dynamic pricing was built to research the collection strategies and specific logistics network layout of remanufacturing enterprise. The conclusions showed that the enterprise would still set up remanufacturing center outside the FTZ in spite of taking off the restriction of double-overseas industrial pattern under the premise of just considering economic efficiency. Meanwhile, along with the increase of LPI goal weight, lifting double-overseas industrial pattern restriction would cause the remanufacturing center transfer to FTZ and expand the scale of the remanufacture industry. ©, 2015, CIMS.
