Greening the Supply Chain with Reworked Items

In the Last few decades, realization about environment has given considerable attention to produce green Products in all fields worldwide. Along with producing green, reuse and recycle of used products also has been promoted to save the environment as much as possible. Though every industry is following its own way to implement green up to certain level but electronics industry is equally forcing reuse and recycle of used products to reduce the e-waste which is increasing at a high-speed due to small life cycle and tough to dump because of its toxic and hazardous nature, which further effects the environment safety. In this paper it has been explored how the forward-reverse supply chain model is decisive to the success of greening the products, specifically focusing on the life cycle cost, and effective cost and profit analysis by calculating total integrated profit function which reduces life cycle cost and satisfies customer requirements for a given period of time. The consequential of this study can be helpful to implement the GSCM concept in electronics Industry and final ratios of integrated profit can be improved by using reworked or reused products, simultaneously reducing the cost of products, in between supplier and buyer.
