Remanufacturing within the Industrial Ecosystem

APICS Remanufacturing/A&D Symposium Proceedings

This paper presents some issues relevant to environmentally conscious manufacturing practice and policies. Remanufacturers will play an ever increasing role in the efficient operations of a larger industrial supply cycle system that can be defined as an industrial ecosystem. The issues relevant to this arena include global practices and pressures for remanufacturing, the needs and requirements for an infrastructure for remanufacturing systems, technology requirements and future research directions.
