Tools:

 

  • Digital manufacturing software will help you into the visualization of the current manufacturing process and the changes induced by the inclusion of remanufacturing activities. This software generally includes a material flow simulator, helping you to set accurate targets both for manufacturing and remanufacturing operations.

  • Product data management (PDM) software allow you to link computer aided design (CAD) product information to their influence on your manufacturing and remanufacturing processes. Objectives are to reduce cycle time and resource waste.

  • Experiments/Taguchi Methods. Remanufacturing processes are characterized by a higher focus on quality testing as compared to traditional manufacturing.

  • Quality management through Statistical Process Control (SPC), 6 Sigma, and Design of Experiments/Taguchi Methods. Remanufacturing processes are characterized by a higher focus on quality testing as compared to traditional manufacturing.

  • SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference Model): to support the definition of businesses processes.
