Abstract

In recent years, the initiatives on sustainable business development have drawn significant attention by worldwide manufacturers especially for implementing remanufacturing strategies towards sustainable supply chain management. Sustainability term refers to the important trade-off decision making among economic, environmental and social responsibilities and roles through the value creation of commercial products and services. Remanufacturing strategies are currently considered as the viable post-use alternatives to a brand new product replacement. The post-use scenario consists of various operational processes, such as disassembling, inspecting, reprocessing, assembling, and testing when producing a remanufactured product. In this article, we presents an overview of the remanufacturing strategies towards sustainable supply chain management. A critical evaluation of assessment approaches with the practical implications is also discussed for future research.
