Abstract

This study aims to provide a general modelling for production planning and the supply chain control in a large scale, in which the asset constraint and places for recycling and junking are added to the issues of production and capacity limitations of the company. Accordingly this study includes the optimization of production process besides the supply chain control proposes and the feasibility of recycle centres in order to decrease the production expense and having more profitability, which finally lead to the customer satisfaction and production system efficiency. The objective function of the model includes the optimization of the expenses on some matters such as establishment of recycling centres, production, accumulation centres, recycling and junking, warehousing, orders and transportations expenses. To estimate the model it is applied on a company which produces water pumps with different powers. The results revealed that the total expense of the system was increased in a period of 12 months related to the expense on establishment of recycle centres, while in a period of 48 month not only the money put into the recycle centres was returned, but also the production cost of each pump was totally decreased for 11 unites. This decline in the total expenses was due to the balance made by using the recycled materials instead of the new raw materials. To sum up, the more factories in which recycled materials are used, the less expenditure is predicted for system in all.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
