Remanufacturing

Lundmark et al. (2009)4 consider remanufacturing a “win-win-win” situation: “Customers can obtain remanufactured products cheaper, companies reduce their costs and they earn more and the environment benefits.” That said, remanufacturing can support all the three basic pillars of Sustainable Development (Environmental, Economic, Social). Saves material and energy resources while reduces wastes and emissions (Environmental), generates wealth and cutting costs (Economic), remanufactured products are cheaper for costumers, while new occupations and scientific fields are created (Social). Considering the business opportunities that remanufacturing offers, all the 3 Pillars should be examined. The profitability of Remanufacturing has become a hot topic discussion…

Materials that are not durable. Using non-durable materials can cause damages through the remanufacturing process. Even if the product does not be damaged, will probably be deteriorated during its “second-life” use. • Inappropriate joining technologies Joining technologies that does not allow the effortless separation of the components, can be time consuming or lead to component’s breakage during disassembly. • Inappropriate materials properties Parts that…

products from the customers, then cleaning and disassembly procedure is continuing. After collecting, sorting and disassembly course of action, a fraction of sort’s product can be remanufactured and restored. The remanufactured products are supposed to be of first-classfeature and agreeable for buyers. The procedure of reverse manufacturingexposed in figure 4.3, and governs by the following differential equations. (4.30) (4.31) (4.32) (4.33) Using the boundary conditions we have…

and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Technical/engineering capability criteria had the highest driving power while reverse logistics cost had the highest dependence power. 21. Muduli and Barve (2012) identified potential barriers that hinder greening effort in the Indian mining industry by using an ISM approach. Lack of top management commitment, and waste management operational strategy had the highest driving and dependence power. 22. Mukherjee and…

Maintaining appropriate costing data for returns. • Dedicated software for reverse logistics. • Including Reverse logistics in MIS reports. • Using data from failure analysis and product returns for product design, manufacturing, packaging design. • Managing Reverse logistics for improved customer satisfaction. 2.6 Reverse Logistics Challenges and Barriers 2.6.1 Reverse Logistics Challenges Brito and Dekker (2003)34 have explained the characteristics of RL which signifies the…

Rogers & Tibben-Lembke (1999): P.7 For an integrated view of the global supply chain process, returns management can be seen as a part of the closed loop supply chain. In the following section an overview of closed loop supply chain is shown along with how returns management integrates with it. 1.1.3 Closed Loop Supply Chain Closed Loop supply chain are supply chains where in addition to the flow of products from the suppliers of raw materials to the end customers, the return flow of products…

Water could be preserved by ensuring that rainwater is collected, wastewater would be recycled, and low-flush toilets would be the only option available to the city. Streams and natural water resources would be preserved by leaving them untouched and away from becoming a construction site or parking lot. Instead, I would influence the community to plant trees and educate them on water conservation. (3) My third strategy for sustainable living would be adapting policies that turn waste into a…

as experimental in a sense because she remains spontaneous with certain decisions but still relies on certain tendencies in her work. Donavan sites Eva Hesse as an influential artist who has inspired her own works. There are clear similarities between their artistic practices. Hesse’s work Repetition Nineteen III, created in 1968 possess a similar process of repetition when compared to Donavan. One of the main differences is Hesse’s use of handmade material. Donavan relies more on materials…

legitimate music, movies, journals, books, video games and software. There also seems to be a rampant increase in low quality patents, the absence of significant and consistent protection of intellectual property rights in china creates a huge problem for the foreign market. Industrial Policies; China has industrial policies that limit market entry for imported goods, foreign manufacturers and Foreign Service suppliers, at the same time, these policies are created with the aim to support…
