A review of the state of the art in tools and techniques used to evaluate remanufacturing feasibility

Component oriented remanufacturing decision-making for complex product using DEA and interval 2-tuple linguistic TOPSIS*

“…All the evaluation data of components on each factor is normalized in order to implement the augmented DEA by using Eq. (7)(8). The final evaluation result is that four components are selected to be taken into the second decision-making phase.…”

“…Karaulova and Bashkite [6] proposed an integrated method for evaluating the remanufacturability of the used industrial equipment. Goodall et al [7] reviewed the state of art in tools and techniques used to evaluate remanufacturing feasibility. However, the existing approaches always deem the remanufacturable product as a whole and make remanufacturing strategies for the whole.…”

Reverse logistics challenges in remanufacturing of automotive mechatronic devices

“…Within the context of remanufacturing, the potential volume of electrified vehicles underpins the security of the supply of the core. As discussed further in [3,16,20], the concept of the remanufacturing core relates to the fundamental component or subsystem that undergoes the remanufacturing process. This includes the reverse logistics and business models that define how the remanufacturer retains access to a sufficient volume of cores to create a sustainable production process.…”

“…Within [33] the definition of remanufacturing is further refined through the use of additional terms such as upward and downward remanufacturing to define the nature of the modifications made to the core. The generic remanufacturing process is defined within a number of publications, including [20] and includes inspection, disassembly, part replacement/refurbishment, cleaning, reassembly and testing [48]. Examples of remanufacturing processes and tools have been published that assess a product's suitability for remanufacturing and assist with the implementation of a remanufacturing strategy [18,49,60].…”

Performance measurement and KPIs for remanufacturing

“…As the title indicates, the project supports the servitization of remanufacturing [5], and has created the ICT architecture and tools required to do this, particularly supporting strategic and operational decision making (a review of over 40 decision making tools and techniques for remanufacturing is provided by Goodall [6]). The general aim of the work reported in this paper was to design a set of KPI's to assist remanufactures to enhance their businesses performance.…”
