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...

In this paper, the authors will present the state of the art about product and process assessment for remanufacturing of computer controlled automotive components (mechatronics) – by giving an insight into their current research activities in the area, including theoretical analyses, field studies in the car electronic remanufacturing industry, contract research for professional car mechatronic...

The uncertain quality of used products highly affects the performances of remanufacturing systems and quality of remanufactured products. Hence the quality issues of used product cannot be neglected in remanufacturing. To apply the quality concept into remanufacturing system control or simulation, individual management of each product is required. To this end, a multi-agent approach can provide...

In the green manufacturing system that pursues the reuse of used products, the residual value of collected used products (CUP) hugely affects a variety of managerial decisions to construct profitable and environmental remanufacturing plans. This paper deals with a closed-loop green manufacturing system for companies which perform both manufacturing with raw materials and remanufacturing with co...

Cloud based approach for remanufacturing is becoming a new technical solution for sustainable management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This paper presents a service-oriented framework of a Cloud Based Remanufacturing System (CBRS) for WEEE. In remanufacturing of WEEE, disassembly plays an important role. However, complete disassembly is rarely an ideal solution due to the...

Inventory policies for joint remanufacturing and manufacturing have recently received much attention. Most efforts, though, were related to (optimal) policy structures and numerical optimization, rather than closed form expressions for calculating near optimal policy parameters. The focus of this paper is on the latter. We analyze an inventory system with unit product returns and demands where ...

Firms often determine whether or not to make components common across products by focusing on the manufacturing and sales of new products only. However, component commonality decisions that ignore remanufacturing can adversely affect the profitability of the firm. In this paper, we analyze how remanufacturing could reverse the OEM’s commonality decision that is based on the manufacturing and sa...

high congestion of returned product at remanufacturing facility causes substantial delays and consequently remarketing value losses for time-sensitive and high-tech products with short life cycles, such as electronic equipments. at the remanufacturing site the returned product are inspected and classified according to their quality and processing time in one of the two classes: class 1 being ad...

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...
