“…Not all products are suitable for remanufacturing. Eight criteria for remanufacturing are [10,17]: a. the product is durable b. the product functionality can be recovered c. the product design is standardised and modular d. the value at end of life is high enough to prevent discarding e. the cost to obtain the core is low if compared with the potential intrinsic value f. the product's basic hardware technology is relatively stable over a period of time that exceeds the product life time g. the consumer should be informed about the opportunity to return the core and about the availability of remanufactured products, in order to create an adequate supply and demand h. the product is 'designed for disassembly'.…”

Remanufacturing is recognized as a major circular economy option to recover and upgrade functions from post-use products. However, the inefficiencies associated with operations, mainly due to the uncertainty and variability of material flows and product conditions, undermine the growth of remanufacturing. With the objective of supporting the design and management of more proficient and robust remanufacturing processes, this paper proposes a generic and reconfigurable simulation model of remanufacturing systems. The developed model relies upon a modular framework that enables the user to handle multiple process settings and production control policies, among which token-based policies. Customizable to the characteristics of the process under analysis, this model can support logistics performance evaluation of different production control policies, thus enabling the selection of the optimal policy in specific business contexts. The proposed model is applied to a real remanufacturing environment in order to validate and demonstrate its applicability and benefits in the industrial settings.

“…The possible consequences in such a supply chain are worth investigating, and however, this extension may rise analytical complexities. Second, as with the cases drawn from the automotive industry mentioned by Gallo et al (2012), a possible further consideration is that OEMs may decide to sell OEM-remanufactured products but outsource their remanufacturing activities to independent remanufacturers. In this case, besides market cannibalization, the OEMs are likely to incur "technology licensing" and "capacity allocation" issues: the former may cause OEM-technology spillovers, and the latter may involve the allocation of OEMs' remanufacturing capacities between in-house and outsourcing production.…”

“…See for a list of principles, as well as Steinhilper (2000) and Ijomah et al (2007) for a range of design strategies. o Design for inspection, fault detection and sorting: The inspection and sorting phases are closely related, as the second activity can be viewed as the completion of the first (Gallo et al, 2012). Design can improve the speed of analysis and the quality of intervention options selected (including the option for no intervention) by a potential range of different stakeholders.…”

Different branches of design are shifting from a primary focus on artefacts as ends to concentrating on means (e.g. forms of production), with ends encompassing larger societal goals. Concurrently, humanity is facing an increasingly carbon-and-freshwater-constrained world, combined with escalating realities of climate change and ecosystem degradation; thus, our means of production must evolve. An integrative framework and model has been developed to support designers (and other stakeholders) working on regenerative systems of production. The model integrates synergistic, circular, cascading and aggregate efficiency design systems based on ecosystem concepts, as well as regenerative agriculture, the bioeconomy and the (technical) circular economy. With this integrative approach, stakeholders may develop more productive, regenerative synergies and hybrid activities that produce zero waste. The model can be applied at the micro-, meso- and macro-scales. Keywords: Systemic design, ecological design, biomimetics, circular economy, regenerative agriculture.
