New, Now, Next. Consumers' ever growing appetite to acquire new
products and their short courtship with them has kept manufacturers
busy not only expending resources at an alarming rate, but also
depleting these resources and giving rise to waste and pollution at
a correspondingly increasing and disturbing rate. Traditional
manufacturing methods that use mainly virgin materials to produce
new products and dispose of the used products at the end of their
lives are quickly becoming unsustainable. In addition, regulations
that require manufacturers to take back products and dispose of
them responsibly have forced manufacturers to establish dedicated
facilities for product recovery-systems that minimize waste and
maximize remanufacturing and recycling. Remanufacturing Modeling
and Analysis explores the design, planning and processing issues
encountered in remanufacturing systems and provides examples of
quantitative modeling methodologies to deal with them. The book
covers the history, industry size and potential, comparison with
other end-of-life options, benefits, conditions, challenges, and
steps in a typical process. It provides a brief overview of each of
the industrial engineering and operations research techniques used
in the book and explains the models developed to increase the
remanufacturability of product designs. The book also discusses how
increasingly stringent environmental regulations and decreasing
natural resources influence manufacturers toward more
environmentally conscious manufacturing and product recovery
initiatives. With easy-to-use mathematical or simulation modeling
that demonstrates solutions for each remanufacturing issue, the
book helps practitioners understand how a particular issue can be
effectively modeled and how to choose the appropriate solution
methodology. An in-depth look at quantitative analysis for
remanufacturing systems, the book provides a foundation upon which
to build a body of knowledge i
