Research on design management based on green remanufacturing engineering

Abstract

With the popularization of the concept of “Product Multi-lifecycle” and “Extended Producer Responsibility”, many manufacturers put the concept of green remanufacturing engineering into practice and begin to think about how to do the design management based on green remanufacturing engineering. This paper firstly analyses the concept of the remanufacturability, then explores the design content for new products’ remanufacturability, and builds up the evaluation model of a used product's remanufacturability, in which the remanufacturability index of a used product is the product of the technological index and the economical index.
