Architecture of Remanufacturing Systematic Engineering

Abstract:

Remanufacturing is a relatively new and unknown field though it has implemented in some countries and achieved remarkable economic benefits. However this ‘Sleeping Giant’ in economy still does not attract enough attention from academe, therefore sufficient theoretical studies in this area have not been carried out. In an attempt to compensate for this gap, this paper presents the architecture of remanufacturing systematic engineering based on previous and current studies. It provides a reference for understanding and implementation of remanufacturing and further study.
