“…Designing product with reference to suitability of Operations like Disassembly, Reassembly and Cleaning is vital. However, it is observed that little effort has been put into understanding the dynamic nature of customer requirements in the Remanufacturing process design [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Abstract:Sustainability requires diligent use of resources to avoid impairing the environment and addressing factors of scarcity. Recently the life of the products has decreased drastically which has made it necessary to plan for End-of-Life (EOL) options for the product. The design factors for the same need to be incorporated at an early stage of Prototyping for the New Product. Remanufacturing is now being accepted as a strategy for competitive advantage supported by government policies in western countries. Besides the Repairing, Reconditioning and Recycling; Remanufacturing has become the most advocated EOL options carried out by Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM's) OR 3 rd Party Remanufacturers. Some OEM's attempt to integrate the same with Product Service System while others do not take it up for fear of cannibalization. For the success of Remanufacturing, optimization of newly added distinct process from the traditional manufacturing system is essential. It may be noted that the better the quality of core, the lesser will be the demand on Operations. The product should be so designed that the customer should be able to select the right EOL option at different life cycle phases of the product. Testing and Diagnosis techniques are central activities to the Remanufacturing Process. The dual role of the customer as an end user as well as a source of used product for Remanufacturing becomes important for setting up the measures for the Remanufacturing affiliated activities within the organization.

“…Atasu et al [1] point out that, confronted with the competition of TPRs, OEMs should engage in the remanufacturing process and use it as a marketing strategy to defend their market share through price discrimination. Ferrer and Swaminathan [12] characterize the competition between an OEM and a remanufacturer in multi-periods and indicate that the OEM's remanufactured products have a higher recognition than those from the remanufacturer in the market.…”

“…To promote environmentally friendly practices for the reuse of e-products, many countries have strict regulations based on the principal of extended producer responsibility (EPR), to encourage producers to engage in recycling and reusing [7]. However, even though remanufacturing may result in a reduction in the production cost [1,4], many manufacturers are still not willing to embrace remanufacturing for fear of expensive investment in the fixed cost of remanufacturing or the internal cannibalization of the sales of new products [8]. Moreover, various uncertainties in the acquisition of products and recovery management also discourage manufacturers from entering into remanufacturing.…”

“…With the increasing awareness of sustainable manufacturing, remanufacturing has been growing quickly in the electrical and electronic industry, due to environmental concerns, government legislation, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable competitiveness [1,2]. Remanufacturing is the industrial process of restoring used products into those exhibiting an as-new condition [3,4].…”

Optimal Remanufacturing Certification Contracts in the Electrical and Electronic Industry

et al. 2017

While remanufacturing is highly encouraged worldwide, some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the electrical and electronics industry are still not willing to embrace remanufacturing, for fear of expensive investment or the cannibalization of existing products. Meanwhile, third-party remanufacturers' (TPRs) remanufactured products are developing quickly. Due to quality reasons, consumers usually have a higher preference for OEM-certified remanufactured products than uncertified ones. As such, remanufacturing certification has become a strategy that OEMs can use to benefit from product remanufacturing. Our paper focuses on the remanufacturing certification contract between an OEM and a TPR. Once certified, the TPR makes payments to the OEM. These payment terms will affect their enthusiasm for participating in remanufacturing certification. By establishing game models among an OEM, a certified TPR, and an uncertified TPR, our paper explores three certification contracts, namely, the lump-sum payment, profit-sharing payment, and piece-rate payment. We identify the conditions for the OEM and certified TPR to reach a win-win outcome. Our results show that when TPRs have a high profit margin and there is no significant difference in consumers' preferences between certified and non-certified remanufacturing channels, the profit-sharing payment contract yields the highest profit; otherwise, the piece-rate payment contract is best for the OEM.

A Supernetwork-Based Model for Design Processes of Complex Mechanical Products

et al. 2016

Abstract:Complex mechanical products are a priority area of advanced manufacturing strategy in the USA and Europe. Excellent models for design processes of complex mechanical products are essential for managers or designers to manage design processes and further improve design efficiency. Multiple elements and complicated relationships between elements in the design processes of complex mechanical products cause difficulties in systematically and quantitatively expressing the design processes. Therefore, we put forth a supernetwork-based model for designing complex mechanical products. First, we identified the key elements in the design processes of complex mechanical products. Next, based on this we analyzed sub-elements of the key elements and relationships between sub-elements. Then we built sub-networks with sub-elements as nodes and their relationships as edges and the supernetwork model for design processes of complex mechanical products based on the sub-networks and their relationships. Meanwhile, we also present a method for combining linguistic variables with the corresponding triangular fuzzy numbers, and a max/min synthesis method to accurately compute the edge weights. Finally, we suggest the practical applications of the proposed model and give a comparison of the proposed model and existing ones to verify the feasibility and validity of this study.
