“…According to Kim et al [31], the alternator has the highest remanufacturing rate. Schau et al [11] presented a case study of remanufactured alternators, in which they applied life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) to three different alternator designs. However, their LCSA approach and derived results are also dependent on the underlying assumptions and data availability.…”

“…In this study, the authors make reference to the case to demonstrate how the proposed model can facilitate and simplify the evaluation process from a sustainable remanufacturing design perspective. With reference to the case [11], the main remanufacturing processes are defined and the associated evaluation criteria within each process are identified as illustrated in Table 2. The total number of remanufacturing processes for evaluation is not necessary to be restricted to six as shown in Table 2.…”

“…The automotive sector particularly has a strong and long history of remanufacturing (Seitz, 2007;Golinska, & Kawa, 2011) where the alternator has the highest remanufacturing rate (Schau, Traverso, & Finkbeiner, 2012). Remanufacturing is also gaining scientific significance in a variety of industries that include single use-devices for hospitals, such as wheelchairs and hearing aids (Srivastava, 2004) cellular phones (Guide Jr, Jayaraman, & Linton, 2003b) and truck tyres (Lebreton & Tuma, 2006).…”
