“…Such ad hoc solutions, in the absence of a strategic framework, lead to inappropriate and inadequate support for reman projects, and consequently, result in sub-optimization of the entire supply chain. There is therefore, an urgent need to better understand the holistic, strategic, decision-making framework for reman [59] in the automotive aftermarket industry. The holistic approach will help business leaders to make better strategic decisions to fulfill the requirements for the OES and the IAM customers.…”

Reverse supply chains take a variety of forms, depending on the nature of the product, the business model, the stakeholders and other factors. This article will contribute to a better understanding of how different types of reverse supply chains function, how they can be modelled and their performance assessed. The research is based on a semi-structured approach using case studies, interviews and qualitative analysis. A generic RSC model is suggested in conjunction with an analysis of circumstances and factors of influence, with the intention to trigger further investigation. A better understanding of RSC may lead to more companies engaging in returning products and materials to the process of usefulness suggested by the circular economy concept, hence leading to a more sustainable way of running manufacturing businesses.

show abstract

“…Lund and Skeels [5] pointed the following issues: (1) product selection, (2) marketing strategy, (3) remanufacturing technology, (4) financial aspects, (5) organizational factors, and (6) legal considerations. Steinhilper [21] proposed eight criteria to be evaluated in establishing the suitability of products for remanufacturing: (1) technical criteria (type or variety of materials and parts, suitability for disassembly, cleaning, testing, reconditioning), (2) quantitative criteria (amount of returned products, timely and regional availability), (3) value criteria (value added from material/production/assembly), (4) time criteria (maximum product life time, single-use cycle time), (5) innovation criteria (technical progress regarding new products and remanufactured products), (6) disposal criteria (efforts and cost of alternative processes to recycle the products and possible hazardous components), (7) criteria regarding interference with new manufacturing (competition or cooperation with OEMs), and (8) other criteria (market behavior, liabilities, patents, intellectual property rights). Other relevant arguments were provided in e.g., Hammond et al [7], Guide and Van Wassenhove [22], Ijomah et al [19], Subramoniam et al [23,24], and Matsumoto [25].…”
