In recent years considerable effort has been devoted to the development of inventory control models for joint manufacturing and remanufacturing. Optimality of control policies is analyzed and algorithms for the determination of parameter values have been developed. However, there is still a lack of formulae or algorithms that allow for an easy computation of optimal or near optimal policy parameter values. This paper addresses the problem of computing the produce-up-to level S and the remanufacture-up-to level
