The considerations of global sustainability have dramatically increased the importance remanufacturing process. Many scholars started focusing on this vital area from both a management and an engineering point view. Previous studies aimed to categorize using traditional review approaches, smaller body literature mostly managerial aspects remanufacturing. Our paper is only study for which tech-m...

This paper presents the findings of experimental research carried out at a Caterpillar Remanufacturing facility in the UK into core inspection at the initial stage of remanufacture – Receive Core. The initial analysis of results shows an increase in productivity with increase of inspection but that this increase is finite and over-inspection leads to an overall decrease of productivity and an i...

Abstract. In this paper, a production inventory model is developed for the business enterprise which consists of three wings. The first wing is for manufacturing new items, the second wing is for collecting the returned items, while third wing is for remanufacturing the returned item. In this model we consider the fact that the storage item is deteriorated during storage periods and salvage val...

Remanufacturing is an active area of research due to its cost saving capabilities and emission-reduction benefits. After being disassembled, cleaned and inspected, the core components go through a series of reconditioning operations before being reassembled into the final remanufactured product, and tested to ensure quality. However, used core components have varying conditions, different defec...

In a market with rapid changes in technology and customer preferences, technological obsolescence of end-of-life products poses a significant challenge to product recovery. Remanufacturing with optimal part upgrades can be a promising solution for overcoming the obsolescence. This paper proposes a model for positioning a remanufactured product. By considering original product design, target mar...

Remanufacturing is one of the main practices toward a circular economy and industrial sustainability. highly dependent on how products are designed developed. can also benefit from automation for efficiency, accuracy flexibility. This paper, via multiple case study, connects three areas remanufacturing, product design investigates facilitate remanufacturing processes. First, guidelines discusse...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Siping Road, 200092 Shanghai, China Abstract This paper considers a pricing and remanufacturing problem in closed-loop supply chain which includes one dominant manufacturer and one retailer under uncertain environment. The remanufacturing cost, market demand, and collection cost are characterized as unce...

In this paper, the CNC machine spindle after remanufacturing is researched as an object on uncertain constraints. At first, the equations of the machine spindle motion based on beam theory are established. This article uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) function to analyze the remanufacturing of machine spindle system in the free mode and while static and the actual working conditions of multi-...
