Abstract: Different operations, such as take-back, cleaning, and repair, lead to high system variability rendering remanufacturing systems difficult to manage. Even when a product is successfully remanufactured, ...

Abstract: Product take-back and remanufacturing systems are difficult to implement cost effectively. One contributing factor is the complex nature of the inter-relationships among components of a product. ...

Abstract: Product take-back and reuse is sometimes at odds with the rapidly evolving desires of some customers. For other customers, the environmental benefits of reuse more than compensate for minor ...

Abstract: The design optimization process relies often on computational models for analysis or simulation. These models must be validated to quantify the expected accuracy of the obtained design solutions. ...
