Analysis of service selling and design for remanufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A focus on selling services or functions instead of physical products can, through remanufacturing, be a way of closing material flows in present society. When a company decides to sell services, a closer connection with the customer can be established and a better control over the products can be achieved. This analysis shows that it is preferable that products aimed for service selling are designed for remanufacturing, since this facilitates the remanufacturing. With remanufacturing, economical and environmental benefits can be gained. Historical cases indicate this, and are described in this article along with an ongoing pilot project of service selling.

Centralization or Decentralization of Remanufacturing Facilities in an After-Market Service Supply Chain
Equipment manufacturers are increasingly selling complementary services such as remanufacturing services to their equipment customers. This servitization trend mandates that the remanufacturing supply chain network is optimized accordingly. In order to set up such network, investment decisions have to be made, not only regarding the number, locations and types of remanufacturing facilities, but...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for Analyzing and Evaluating Servitization Potential: Case Study of ENVIE Loire
For a manufacturing company, moving from selling a product to selling a function is a process called "servitization", leading to the suggestion of an offer oriented functionality that is more commonly called a Product-Service System (PSS). This process requires for a company to have a relatively clear vision of possible scenarios. Under the ServINNOV project, we proposed after a deep analysis o...
متن کاملA Mixed Integer Linear Programming Model for the Design of Remanufacturing Closed–loop Supply Chain Network
Closed-loop supply chain network design is a critical issue due to its impact on both economic and environmental performances of the supply chain. In this paper, we address the problem of designing a multi-echelon, multi-product and capacitated closed-loop supply chain network. First, a mixed-integer linear programming formulation is developed to maximize the total profit. The main contribution...
متن کاملExploring Product Life-cycle Information Flows with a Focus on Remanufacturing
Our daily lives and welfare rely heavily on products. Considering that climate change is caused by humans, it is important to handle and use products in a sustainable manner; remanufacturing is one such way to accomplish this. Remanufacturing is an industrial process where products are restored into useful life. However, few products are designed for remanufacturing, which sometimes makes reman...
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...
