Production Planning Perspective For Hybrid Manufacturing–Remanufacturing Systems

Abstract

Recycling for used products, collected from customers for recycling and disassembly of them for remanufacturing, is very critical addressing of the sustainable manufacturing systems.The concept of remanufacturing, which is frequently used for the production stages of electronic parts, especially in the automotive sector, is preferred for reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and legal regulations.We discussed the operation of a hybrid manufacturing system that uses raw materials and returned products together in the production process in this paper.This type of system has system complexity compared with the traditional manufacturing systems.Besides such challenges, remanufacturing can provide economic value considering sustainable benefits, as it preserves the geometric shape of the product.
