Abstract

Remanufacturing could produce immense environmental, economic and social benefits. However, various challenges must be addressed in relation to the widespread adoption of remanufacturing systems. One challenge is the lack of guides suited to the design of effective logistics and manufacturing operations in manufacturing systems. Building upon the results of the literature review, 18 interviews and the field work conducted for the REMACOMPIND project, this paper (1) presents the special features of remanufacturing systems and delineates the activities that are influenced by those features and (2) suggests key guiding questions to be answered to design an effective remanufacturing process regarding logistics and manufacturing operations.
