| Summary: | Automotive waste is one of the main problems that can be found in waste
management especially in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to
evaluate the factors and criteria that influence remanufacturing process and to build
an assessment tool that can provide a performance index for automotive parts to
undergo the remanufacturing process. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in
this study in data collection and analyzing data. A questionnaire was produced by
three main factors and fifteen sub-criteria criteria, which were subsequently
prioritized using the AHP technique. Fourteen participants were involved in
answering the questionnaire to evaluate the importance level between all the factors.
The participants involved are engineers and academicians. The result finds out that
Product development factors gain the highest weightage score which is 0.770,
followed by External factors with a score of 0.127 and Internal Factors got the lowest
weightage score which is 0.103. Then, the data from the analysis will be used to
developed an assessment tool. The assessment tool was validated by three
academicians and the tools were found helpful and acceptable. The tools might be
used for remanufacturing industries to be used as a guideline to evaluate the
automotive parts before undergoing remanufacturing process and improve the
remanufacturing process. |
