ABSTRACT

In this chapter, residuals, after transferring by costumer, send to production station, sorting station and different manufacturing processes (melting, forging, clamping, painting, etc.) for reproduction. After completion of several production processes, reproduced products are resent to costumers. Considering different cost factors and also pricing concept and reproduced parts, the mathematical model of optimizing manufacturing cost is developed. The model is a useful tool in strategic decision-making for municipalities.
