Life cycle costing for strategic evaluation of remanufacturing systems

Tourism Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Proposal of a New Methodological Framework for Sustainable Consumption and Production

“…Regarding the economic pillar of sustainability, Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is the reference methodology to investigate costs along the life cycle of products and services (Krozer, 2008;Norris, 2001;Rebitzer & Hunkeler, 2003;Rebitzer & Seuring, 2003;Spengler & Stolting, 2008). Recently, significant efforts to create an LCT-based methodology to assess some social issues have been made by several researchers (Grießhammer et al, 2006;Hauschild et al, 2008;Hunkeler, 2006;Jørgensen et al, 2008;Weidema, 2005;UNEP, 2009).…”

Selection of Landfill Cover Materials Based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)—A Case Study on Four Typical Covering Materials

“…On the contrary, the smaller the value of the economic and environmental indicators, the better the cover material. Therefore, the reciprocals of the economic and environmental performance indicators were used as the input indicators of the evaluation system [53,54]. The specific index values of each of the four investigated materials were further evaluated using DEA after dimensionless treatment according to the percentage (Table 4).…”

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

“…Business scenarios in which remanufacturing is addressed include sales to secondary markets (Quariguasi-Frota-Neto and Bloemhof, 2012), spare parts for aftermarket sales (Inderfurth and Mukherjee, 2008;McKenna et al, 2013), and PSS (Intlekofer et al, 2010;Spengler and Stolting, 2008). Spengler and Stolting (2008) evaluate the effect of strategic business decisions such as incorporating design for remanufacturing, the business organisational structure, the returns incentive system and the process capacity upon life cycle product costs. Inderfurth and Mukherjee (2008) assess the potential strategies to fulfil demand for aftermarket spare parts, namely through namely a long single batch run, frequent but small production batches or remanufacturing.…”
