A Timing Decision-making Method for Product and its key Components in Proactive Remanufacturing

Generally, the economic profits in product using are considered as the main factor in decision-making in remanufacturing. Since used key components are identified as the core in remanufacturing, each component and its own condition should be considered in decision-making. Thus, with mapping the relationship between product performance and its key components failure condition, a timing decision-making method in proactive remanufacturing is presented to conduct the remanufacturing with low consuming per year. Moreover, the remanufacturability of key components at the time with low consumption per year is evaluated. Finally, a diesel engine is given as an instance to validate the method.
