The Economics of Remanufacturing Under Limited Component Durability and Finite Product Life Cycles
建模并量化了在有限部件耐久性和有限产品生命周期约束下，收集、再制造和再销售旧产品作为完美替代品的生产系统的成本节约潜力，并指出需协调成本结构、收集率、产品生命周期和部件耐久性以最大化节约。
This paper models and quantifies the cost-savings potential of production systems that collect, remanufacture, and remarket end-of-use products as perfect substitutes while facing the fundamental supply-loop constraints of limited component durability and finite product life cycles. The results demonstrate the need to carefully coordinate production cost structure, collection rate, product life cycle, and component durability to create or maximize production cost savings from remanufacturing.
