Reverse logistics has a considerable influence both on production planning and management and on the determination of optimal production and storage capacities. Few studies, however, have developed models that take account of reverse logistics when calculating optimal production capacities and policies. This paper describes such a method for calculating production and storage capacity in a reverse logistics system in which demand is deterministic.
