| Summary: | In the recent years, remanufacture of used-products is becoming an important
production activity amongst many companies. This is primarily motivated by the strict
environmental regulations, increasing customers’ awareness of green environment and
economical benefits. Remanufacturing is an industrial process that involves four key
processes, namely inspection/grading, disassembly, component reprocessing and
reassembly/testing. It is established that the presence and interactions of several unique
characteristics within the remanufacturing systems implicates subsequent key processes.
These unique characteristics would become challenges to production planning and
control activity in any remanufacturing systems. Consequently, it is very imperative that
these characteristics are properly taken into account in any production planning and
control activity. |
