Purpose: This study presents case studies of selected remanufacturing operations in Japan. It investigates Japanese … companies' motives and incentives for remanufacturing, clarifies the requirements and obstacles facing remanufacturers, itemizes … what measures companies take to address them, and discusses the influence of Japanese laws related to remanufacturing …

In the area of reverse logistics, remanufacturing has been proven to be a valuable option for product recovery. In many … the returned product. Although several authors study how the different lot sizes in a remanufacturing system shall be … determined, they do not consider the specificity of the remanufacturing process itself. Thus, the disassembly operations which …

The remanufacturing industry as a whole and the automotive sector in particular have, over the years, proven to be …, remanufacturing is associated with complicating characteristics, not least to mention the process of core acquisition. The automotive … industry is one of the earliest adapters of remanufacturing. Parts like engines, brake calipers and servo pumps are common …

Remanufacturing is the process of rebuilding used products that ensures that the quality of remanufactured products is … difficulty of visualizing it systemically, and implementing it effectively. Few models treat remanufacturing as a system. Most of … the studies still treated remanufacturing as an isolated process, preventing it from being seen in an integrated manner …
