“…Cai et al [41] demonstrated the use of DSM in the design process to modularize machine tools to enhance their remanufacturability. Another context within the area of remanufacturing in which DSM has been applied is to identify interdependency between different offerings provided with the aim of locating solutions that may be shared to enhance remanufacturing [42].…”

Remanufacturing is a crucial component for our societies to move toward a circular economy. Compared to new manufacturing, the distinctive nature of remanufacturing is found to have high variability, high uncertainty and, thereby, complexity. Therefore, remanufacturers need to be able to adapt to the complexity and to flexibly adjust their processes. Especially, the ability to remanufacturing process planning and control is important. However, few practical methods supporting that are available so far. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a method for designing teams and processes in remanufacturing based on the concept of loosely coupled systems. In the proposed method, Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is applied to identify loosely coupled sub-systems that enable to localize impacts of changes within themselves. These sub-systems are also regarded as cross-functional teams that reduce coordination efforts among line departments and therefore increase the adaptability against uncertainties. As a preliminary validation, the proposed method was applied to a real case of remanufacturing, and then found to be effective for creating teams and processes for remanufacturing process planning and control depending on given uncertainties.

“…Manufacturing and logistics systems are hyperconnected, when their agents are connected on multiple layers. Cooperation and networking can be seen from a wide range of aspects, like multi-agent coordination in networked manufacturing processes (Chan et al, 2007), design and operation of manufacturing networks (Mourtzis et al, 2015), worldwide production network analysis (Kuhn, 2006), strategies for sharing of manufacturing resources (Kondoh & Salmi, 2011). However, the networking approach can be described as an agile supply chain solution (Agarwal et al, 2006), and uncertainty makes the design of supply chain processes more and more complex (Cardona-Valdes et al, 2011), but the integration of procurement, manufacturing, distributions and reverse processes is unavoidable (Xu et al, 2013).…”

Production and service processes always introduce discrepancies between real and expected parameters. Accurate modelling of uncertainties in manufacturing processes has great impact on logistics related factors. In this representation, instead of a deterministic analysis of manufacturing processes with uncertain quality of components, decision making is described with stochastic decision trees. The objective of this work is to show how to include the uncertain quality of components into the optimization of manufacturing processes. This paper proposes a new decision tree model with stochastic parameters that can determine the optimal operations depending on the quality of components to be assembled. After a careful literature review, this paper introduces a model to formulate the problem of decision making in manufacturing and assembly processes depending on the quality of produced batches of components. The model seeks the optimal pre-assembly operation, like testing or repairing while taking into account specific costs, prior and posterior probabilities and likelihoods. Next, we demonstrate an enhanced stochastic decision tree with cumulative hypergeometric probability distributions to find the minimum of expected cost based objective function. Numerical results demonstrate how the proposed model supports the decision making process and increase the efficiency, flexibility and reliability of the manufacturing process.

“…Guide et al present an analysis of the performance of different static priority rules [18], while in an earlier paper, describe the application of Goldratt's drum-buffer-rope system in a remanufacturing environment [19,20]. Other authors look at the use of production planning approaches in remanufacturing environments [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractA crucial stage of the remanufacturing process is the inspection procedure. Surveys carried out in the automotive remanufacturing sector show that the industry is concerned about the need this causes for a large amount of specialist skills. Despite this, there has been little research into what is actually involved in the inspection process and its outcomes. This paper presents case-based research that was carried out on the inspection procedures of both electronic and mechanical product remanufacturers. It presents generic inspection process diagrams, produced using case studies in UK companies engaged in remanufacturing activities. The models provide a greater understanding of the remanufacturing inspection procedures currently used. The models were tested with additional case studies. The paper discusses the questions raised by the improved understanding of inspection processes in remanufacturing for operations managers and outlines some questions for future research.
