Analyzing Remanufacturability of Mobile Phones using DEMATEL Approach

“…Therefore, it is important to analyze these factors to find prominent factors and interrelationship among factors. Several studies have been conducted to analyze factors that influence remanufaturability, but not for short life-cycle product, but rather for automotive sector (D'Adamo and Rosa [19], Chaowanapong [20], Xia et al [21]) or for general industry (Goodall et al [3], Bhatia and Srivastava [22], Sharma et al [23], Wei et al [24]). This paper aims to explore factors that influence the remanufacturability of mobile phone and analyze those factors using DEMATEL approach, which will be useful for manufacturer in making decision to engage in remanufacturing.…”

Consumer Valuation of Remanufactured Products: A Comparative Study of Product Categories and Business Models

“…Promoting sustainable production and consumption and embracing circularity in the supply chain have emerged as the most pressing issues facing the manufacturing industry [1,2]. Remanufacturing can be an effective solution to overcome this challenge [3]. Remanufacturing is a process of returning used products to a like-new state by reconditioning or replacing their component parts [4,5].…”

An improved multi-objective discrete bees algorithm for robotic disassembly line balancing problem in remanufacturing

“…Traditional manufacturing industry has the disadvantages of high environmental pollution and low resource utilizations. Under this condition, sustainable manufacturing [1] and remanufacturing [2,3] are the future trends of manufacturing industry. In China, according to statistics, there are approximately 5 million cars, 20 million mobile phones and 500 million tons of solid waste to be scrapped every year [4].…”

“…). The moving distance between part 3 and part 4 (md3,4 ) and the moving distance between part 3 and part 8 (md 3,8 ) are manually calculated by Equation(11).Hence, the corresponding moving time (mt 3,4 and mt 3,8 ) is calculated by the moving distance (md 3,4 and md 3,8 ) and the moving speed (ms).…”
