“…Teunter and Flapper [10] investigated remanufacturing schemes for recyclables with varying quality, assuming that quality conforms to a multinomial distribution. Yan et al [11] focused on determining the optimal pricing strategies for recycling and remanufacturing products in uncertain environments, considering two remanufacturing approaches based on product quality, and employing an uncertain programming model along with crisp equivalent models under specific uncertainty distributions. Guo and Ya [12] devised a recycling model that fully considers the quality of recyclables, offering robust theoretical backing for manufacturers in the manufacturing and remanufacturing production decision-making.…”

In light of resource scarcity and environmental challenges, remanufacturing bolsters resource efficiency and fosters a circular economy, with policy support being pivotal for its development. Although previous studies have predominantly concentrated on the economic benefits of remanufacturing, comparatively less emphasis has been placed on its carbon emissions and the differentiated incentive-penalty policies for various recycled products. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of remanufacturing policies, such as carbon taxes and incentive-penalty schemes, on multi-period hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing closed-loop systems, considering different carbon emissions for new and remanufactured products. We investigate optimal recycling and production strategies for enterprises under two distinct quality distributions (exponential and normal) and analyze the government’s incentive and penalty amounts for recycled products at various quality levels. In order to ensure the robustness of the variable quality distribution, we employ a genetic algorithm and a particle swarm optimization algorithm for comparative verification and problem solving. The study’s findings reveal that: (1) irrespective of the quality distribution, enterprises consistently exhibit a preference for recycling products of the same quality level, and the range of quality for which the government offers incentives or imposes penalties remains fundamentally constant; (2) subsidies may be granted for recycled products with a quality level ranging from 0.2 to 0.4, whereas recycled products with a quality level exceeding 0.4 are subject to penalties.

“…Abbey et al [36] studied the optimal pricing of new and remanufactured products on the basis of the consumer preferences model. Yan et al [37] formulated a pricing model for recycling and remanufacturing in uncertain conditions to address the optimal pricing. Additionally, pricing decisions are commonly considered in integration with the production decisions, as the pricing strategies in remanufacturing can be influenced by the product design [14].…”

Systematic Literature Review on Remanufacturing Trade Based on Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2022

With the extensive development of remanufacturing, remanufacturing trade, as an essential part of it, has also attracted much attention from researchers. Quite a large number of studies related to remanufacturing trade, such as pricing, sales, competition, channel expansion and service strategy, have been published in various journals. This paper aims to focus on the research status on remanufacturing trade through bibliometric analysis that can provide the primary research trends and the future research hotspots by analyzing the progress, parties and themes of the research. In this paper, the review and analysis are conducted on over 121 articles from 2000 until July 2021 with the help of VOS viewer (Leiden University, Leiden, Netherlands) and Citespace (Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA). The results of the analysis of research progress and research parties suggest that: (a) more and more researchers have started to pay attention to consumers during modeling; (b) sustainable/green aspects are frequently taken into account as a factor, but the sustainable/green standards for remanufacturing trade need to be further developed; (c) studies on remanufacturing trade are more abundant in heavy industry countries. Additionally, the hotspots for future research are identified via the theme analysis, including: (1) with the issuing of various government policies, the impact of these policies on decisions related to remanufacturing trade has been studied gradually and is expected to become a hot topic in the future; (2) a large number of papers conduct research on the basis of the supply chain of remanufactured products; (3) research on the online distribution channel has already been carried out and is constantly deepening; (4) the digital technology is increasingly introduced to remanufacturing trade in recent years.

“…Whether a component is to be reused or becomes waste depends on its quality. Yan et al [21] demonstrated that a recycled product can be used as a second-hand product, repaired, or dissembled into materials according to its quality. Generally, for companies, the higher the ratio of reusable to disposable components, the greater is the economic profit.…”

Standardizing Components and Rotating Workers Using GT-Based Algorithm—A Case Study

In both manufacturing and remanufacturing systems, exploiting bulk buying and avoiding delivery delays due to material shortages are crucial. One method that aids in these processes is component standardization. Additionally, company managers seek to reduce labor costs and mitigate the risk of sudden worker resignation or absence due to, for example, reasons associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The aforementioned problems could be solved using the sorting algorithm proposed in this study. The concept of the proposed algorithm is based on group technology. One numerical example and two case studies are presented to demonstrate the utility of the proposed algorithm. The first example suggested that the performance of the algorithm proposed in this study is superior to another one in the literature. The second one demonstrated that the algorithm in this work achieves component standardization by reducing an initial number of 12 components down to 6. The final case study provides an effective means of grouping workers with similar operational abilities and suggests how to assign new tasks to other skilled workers if a worker resigns suddenly or cannot attend work due to pandemic prevention measures.
