The Economics of Remanufacturing Under Limited Component Durability and Finite Product Life Cycles
نویسندگان
چکیده
T paper models and quantifies the cost-savings potential of production systems that collect, remanufacture, and remarket end-of-use products as perfect substitutes while facing the fundamental supply-loop constraints of limited component durability and finite product life cycles. The results demonstrate the need to carefully coordinate production cost structure, collection rate, product life cycle, and component durability to create or maximize production cost savings from remanufacturing.

Comparative studies of three types of products (remanufacturing, refurbished and new products) on warranty cost and profitability
Employing remanufactured and refurbished products are among the new strategies that companies used to raise their profits as well as protects environment. Although used product equipment gives an opportunity to purchase latest technology, customers are doubtful about quality and reliability of these products. Because of limitation that developing countries faces in buying new products, some cou...
متن کاملThe role of Product-Service Systems regarding information feedback transfer in the product life-cycle including remanufacturing
With a Product-Service System (PSS), the producer often has control of its products during multiple life-cycles, and thus there are more incentives for design for service and remanufacturing in comparison to traditional sales. The aim of this paper is to explore the role of PSS regarding information feedback transfer in the product life-cycle including remanufacturing. The paper explores two in...
متن کاملPrediction of long-term slake durability of clay-bearing rocks
A research program was conducted on different clay-bearing rocks selected from the Ilam, Sarpol-e Zahab and Tajarak regions (Iran) to predict their slaking characteristics. The new durability apparatus (nested mesh drums) separates disintegrated particles varying from > 25.4 to < 2 mm as the drums were rotated. On the basis of the particle size distribution, the disintegration ratio (DR) was us...

متن کاملEffect of Mineralogy on Durability and Strength of Hornfelsic Rocks under Acidic Rainfall in Urban Areas
In order to assess mineralogical composition influence on durability and strength of rocks, four samples of hornfelsic rocks were selected from southern and western parts of the city of Hamedan, west of Iran. These rock samples were subjected to mineralogical, physical and mechanical tests in the laboratory. Also, they were evaluated in 15 cycles of slake-durability testing in different pH of s...
