Process planning for IT-equipment remanufacturing

We present an approach for the design, evaluation and implementation of remanufacturing processes in a given facility. Based on the description of the market situation and involved actors, a planning method is derived. Data acquisition procedures for product, process and facility are described. A mixed integer program is developed for optimization of a remanufacturing process and evaluation of its economic viability. Additionally, the paper describes the technical implementation, the software workflow and example application on the product category Flat Screen Monitors.
