“…The design of efficient production processes is a success determining factor in the development of remanufacturing systems since both the costs and quality of the processed products as well as the performance of the system are influenced by the choice and design of the production processes [18]. Consequently, the tactical field of action for remanufacturing operations is defined as production design.…”

Due to the conceptual degrees of freedom in their product structure, electric vehicles offer high potential for remanufacturing-oriented product design. This potential is, however, not realized yet. Remanufacturing as one fundamental element of a circular economy is characterized by specific challenges caused by uncertain information about the condition and the timing of the returning product. By means of a case study within the remanufacturing industry, the effects of uncertainties on remanufacturing operations are examined and different approaches within the field of production management to meet these specific challenges are pointed out. Based on the result of the case study a production management framework outlining fields of action to deal with remanufacturing specific uncertainties is developed. In this context, the requirements for remanufacturing of electric vehicles are derived by analyzing similarities from other industry sectors. In conclusion, a solution approach for the implementation for electric vehicles is presented for strategic, tactical and operational procurement logistics and remanufacturing operations.

“…In this study, there were options to design a quality of product and the design choices affected both the production costs and consumer valuation associated with the product. Jiang et al [22] developed an optimal methodology for the selection of remanufacturing process plans. The authors combined the strengths of quality function deployment and fuzzy linear regression to determine the operational decisions in remanufacturing for remanufacturing rates, cost, and quality.…”

Abstract: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 collected used products (CUP). The amount of CUP is assumed as a function of buy-back cost while the quality level of CUP, which means the residual value, follows a known distribution. In addition, the remanufacturing cost can differ according to the quality of the CUP. Moreover, nowadays companies are subject to existing environment-related laws such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Therefore, a company should collect more used products than its obligatory take-back quota or face fines from the government for not meeting its quota. Through the development of mathematical models, two kinds of inspection policies are examined to validate the efficiency of two different operation processes. To find a managerial solution, a genetic algorithm is proposed and tested with numerical examples.

“…Kreng [26] developed an extended AHP model for technology justification, which revised the way of obtaining values of pairwise comparisons in order to take into account both tangible and intangible criteria. Jiang et al [12] developed a tool which considers issues of fuzziness in performance and process quality characteristics for remanufacturing. Evans [20] developed a fuzzy-decision tree model to support selection of technology for a classic medium complexity assembly investment project.…”

“…Therefore, remanufacturing is economically viable and attractive with obvious environmental benefits to companies [11]. Second, remanufacturing limits depletion of resources as it reuses components from old products, thus conserving non-renewable resources [12]. Third, remanufacturing is cost-efficient through reduced resource requirements, asset recovery, increased employment rate, and improved brand image [13][14][15].…”

Lack of efficient evaluation methods to help decision makers in making informed decision regarding in-house technology investments, outsourcing technology, and manual activities in the remanufacturing industry has raised serious concerns in the selection process of technologies based on company size and resources. This has resulted in the inability of decision makers to broadly assess the scope of alternative technologies against remanufacturing processes. Thus, it has resulted in the choice of a common solution based on inconsistencies and uncertainties. This paper proposes a holistic framework that can assist decision makers in evaluating the remanufacturing operations by offering better understanding of the performance and potential capabilities in the selection of appropriate technology. The salient feature of the proposed framework is its utilization of the fuzzy logic method as guiding tool to analyze criteria for technology selection in order to make informed decisions on whether to invest or outsource a technology or use labor-intensive operations to the specific process. The paper also highlights importance of the technology assessment framework in aligning and consolidating the dedicated thinking for the life cycle of the particular technology. The major contribution of the framework is its integration of obsolete and disposal phases with the acquisition and adoption phases. Therefore, during technology assessment, decision makers are guided by a step-by-step iterative process on technology requirement verification.
