Note on Heuristics with guaranteed performance bounds for a manufacturing system with product recovery
Performance bounds proposed by Feng and Viswanathan (2014) are not accurate. Bound does not hold in 45 percent of 81,000 tested instances. Average deviation: 4 percent. Maximum deviation: 14.9 percent. Critical assumption: equally sized remanufacturing batches .
