Abstract
This research is conducted mainly to focus on constraints in the reverse logistics system of End-of-Life home appliance in China. With case study of Remanufacturing Plant, Resource Constraints in system are identified by logistics simulation, and then they are eliminated finally through using Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) scheduling of Theory of Constraints. Inventory Buffer is set just before the constraint unit as well as buffer size model is established. Outcomes suggests that DBR scheduling is exactly an effective approach to eliminate Resource Constraints and it enables to achieve the objective of optimizing parameters of throughput (T), investment (I) and operating expense (OE), even logistics balance.
