“…Revalorization services in the form of remanufacturing thus should decrease the probability of after-sales and technical obsolescence. Similar changes in product design likely result from recycling efforts, in that remanufacture is an ultimate version of recycling (Steinhilper, 1998, [I]). Reuse implies a second (or further) use of a product, without any change to its state (Cooper and Gutowski, 2017, [A]) and reuse with financial incentives likely exerts an effect on the time to physical obsolescence.…”

This conceptual article reviews current knowledge across relevant disciplines and proposes a research agenda related to the capacity of product-oriented product–service systems (PSS) – which are servitization practices, similar to product–service bundling – to mitigate the obsolescence problem of durable products (in the form of deliberate curtailment of product lifespans or symbolic devaluation of devices). Taking both consumer and company perspectives on this possibility, this study outlines paths for research into how marketing can advance knowledge, particularly in relation to product design and sustainable marketing fields. As a contribution to product–service bundling literature, this article also proposes that different types of bundling strategies can be deployed strategically to enhance environmental performance and reduce obsolescence. The effects of product-oriented PSS on obsolescence depend on the type of added services that companies bundle with their products. This insight offers some implications for managers who might seek to adopt product–service bundling and for regulators and policy makers who want to combat obsolescence.

“…Reconditioning is the process in remanufacturing that fabricates the used parts or components to new conditions. 8 Since there is a quality variation in the incoming components for reconditioning because of differences in the usage pattern of the systems by users, 67 there is a probability that the parts may fail during reconditioning or soon after that. There is another possibility that the system may be upgraded to a higher level, once it is remanufactured.…”

“…32 Since remanufacturability being a novel concept, designers may be deprived of the remanufacturing knowledge, 33 which necessitates an immediate establishment of tools and techniques, including knowledge-based systems to implement EOL concepts in early stages of product design. 34 Steinhilper 8 postulated that two-third of the remanufacturability of a product is dictated by its design. Hence, many enterprises started exploring the feasibility of considering remanufacturing of products during the design stage itself.…”

The growing concern over environmental protection is prompting automobile manufacturers to develop products with better End-of-Life performance. Product remanufacturability is considered as an End-of-Life performance booster. Remanufacturability, that is, the easiness for remanufacturing of products depends on the technical, environmental, and economic feasibilities. The technical feasibility depends on the product design attributes that support remanufacturability. These design attributes are comprised of several sub-attributes. Moreover, the attributes are interrelated with each other. This paper develops a remanufacturability index for automobile systems based on the design attributes that affect the remanufacturability. A structural methodology of graph theory and matrix approach is applied for developing the remanufacturability index. The design attributes and their interrelations with due consideration of their structure is modelled through the graph theory. The remanufacturability directed graph (digraph) is defined; the nodes of this represent the remanufacturability enhancing design attributes, while the edges represent their degrees of interrelationships. The equivalent matrix of the digraph forms a remanufacturability function which leads to the evaluation of remanufacturability index. A higher value of the remanufacturability index indicates that the automobile system has high potential for being remanufactured. The methodology can be applied during the design stage of automobile systems to evaluate the remanufacturability that will enhance the End-of-Life performance. The observations would be helpful to automobile system designers in determining the extent to which the system can be remanufactured and in identifying the specific attributes that can be improved to enhance remanufacturability.

“…Les services de revalorisation sous forme de reconditionnement devraient ainsi diminuer la probabilité d’obsolescence de types technique et d’après-vente. Des changements similaires dans la conception des produits peuvent résulter des efforts de recyclage , dans la mesure où la remise à neuf est une version ultime du recyclage (Steinhilper, 1998, [I]). La réutilisation implique une deuxième utilisation (voire plus) d’un produit, sans aucun changement de son état (Cooper et Gutowski, 2017, [A]).…”

Cet article conceptuel développe un agenda de recherche sur le rôle que les Systèmes Produit–Service (SPS) orientés produit – pratiques de servicisation similaires au bundling – peuvent jouer dans la réduction de l’obsolescence des produits durables (c’est-à-dire la réduction délibérée de la durée de vie des produits et la dévaluation symbolique de ceux-ci). Cette possibilité est étudiée du point de vue des consommateurs et des entreprises. Il en ressort des pistes de recherche sur la façon dont le marketing peut faire progresser les connaissances, en particulier dans les domaines du design des produits et du marketing durable. Cet article contribue à la littérature sur le bundling en suggérant que différentes stratégies de bundling peuvent être déployées afin d’améliorer les performances environnementales et réduire l’obsolescence. Les effets des SPS orientés produit sur l’obsolescence dépendent du type de services supplémentaires que les entreprises associent à leurs produits. Cette réflexion a des implications pour les managers qui souhaitent adopter une stratégie de bundling de produits et de services ainsi que pour les régulateurs et les décideurs politiques qui veulent lutter contre l’obsolescence.
