Remanufacturing is a process of recovering end-of-life products into serviceable parts for producing new products. Due to the limited supply of recovery cores to remanufacture, a remanufacturing firm also needs to produce or procure new parts for fulfilling the demand. This paper is targeted for solving the problem of determining the optimal amount of newly produced and remanufacturing parts, which is called production and remanufacturing planning (PRP) problem, under uncertain supply of recovery cores. The new production mitigates the risk of insufficient core supply while it takes more costs than the remanufacturing. The PRP model in this paper also considers disassemble-to-order (DTO) environment, in which multiple kinds of parts are remanufactured from multiple products on order of the parts. Whereas existing studies presents only heuristic solutions for DTO remanufacturing, this paper provides an exact solution for this problem and analytical sensitivity of the involved cost parameters, adopting multi-dimensional newsvendor modeling and stochastic linear programming techniques. The result shows that production and remanufacturing plans for multiple products are mutually dependent, and a change of cost parameters involved in only one part is propagated to all other parts.

This paper discusses a green supply chain with a manufacturer and a collection trader, and it proposes an optimal production planning for remanufacturing of parts in used products with quality classification errors made by the collection trader. When a manufacturer accepts an order for parts from a retailer and procures used products from a collection trader, the collection trader might have some quality classification errors due to the lack of equipment or expert knowledge regarding quality classification. After procurement of used products, the manufacturer inspects if there are any classification errors. If errors are detected, the manufacturer reclassifies the misclassified (overestimated) used products at a cost. Accordingly, the manufacturer decides to remanufacture from the higher-quality used products based on a remanufacturing ratio or produce parts from new materials. This paper develops a mathematical model to find how quality classification errors affect the optimal decisions for a lower limit of procurement quality of used products and a remanufacturing ratio under the lower limit and the expected profit of the manufacturer. Numerical analysis investigates how quality of used products, the reclassification cost and the remanufacturing cost of used products affect the optimal production planning and the expected profit of a manufacturer.

The new recycling technology for aged aluminum wires in overhead conductor has been carried out. The authors are attempting to develop remanufacturing method for them for more effective way of recycling in stead of its conventional remelting process. The new recycling technology for aged aluminum wire in overhead conductor was composed of four steps in different develop process, destranding process for conductor, surface cleaning process, welding process and drawing process for aluminum wire. This paper investigates the properties during recycle process of aged aluminum wire. The results of microscopic analysis and mechanical properties were discussed to underscore recycling aluminum wire. Various graphs are presented accompanied by discussion about their relevance on the process. In conclusion, we confirmed the possibility of remanufacturing technique by using new process.

The old machine tools that have been used for a long time cause both increase in defective rate and decrease in productivity compared to new machines due to wear and failure of their components. In order to improve productivity and quality of machined components through remanufacturing, it is necessary to analyze the wear and failure of major components of old machine tools. In this study, the process for reverse engineering is designed for the remanufacture of planner millers, which belong to a very large machine tool. Also, the suitability of the designed process is verified through the analysis of the selected remanufactured components. In the first step of the process, some major components of the aging planner miller are scanned using a 3D laser scanner. In the next step, reverse engineering is performed using the data obtained through 3D scanning. Finally, wear and failure analysis is performed by comparing the reverse engineering data with the scan data. As a result, this reverse design and wear analysis can complement the insufficient design database and reduce costs in the maintenance of remanufactured products.

The domestic remanufacturing industry is concentrated in auto parts, so it is necessary to expand into various industries. In the domestic aluminum industry, the extrusion process accounts for more than 40% of the total, but the old and management of the extrusion equipment is not done properly. In particular, the extruder has a structure in which equipment is not replaced until major parts are damaged or worn, so there are problems such as lower process precision, productivity and production efficiency compared to new equipment, and high maintenance costs. In this study, the old extruder was remanufactured for major high-risk parts through Failure Mode and Effect Analysis(FMEA), and the process level and performance of the extruder were evaluated before and after remanufacturing. Compared to the existing extruder, the standard deviation of the remanufacture extruder was reduced by 93.5%, 57.9%, and 70.0%, respectively, in major process control items such as container temperature, billet temperature, and ram speed, keeping performance constant. In addition, it was possible to produce products with complex shapes that could not be produced before due to problems such as dimensional deviation within tolerances. In this study, remanufacturing guidelines were presented by analyzing the effect of failure modes of the old extruder, and the performance improvement of the extruder was confirmed.

Globally, the need for remanufacturing or reusing ships and various mechanical parts continues to increase due to environmental problems including global warming. Research on remanufacturing is being carried out in many areas. However, research on inspection and classification to identify the performance or degree of wear of mechanical parts is insufficient. In particular, studies on the inspection-ability and classification-ability of mechanical parts equipped with various materials and complex forms are highly required. Remanufacturing must be considered from the stage of design to extend the life cycle of mechanical parts. Particularly, it is very important to perform research for evaluating the degree of ease to inspect and classify various sorts of wear or deterioration of parts caused by long-term use easily. In this study, the degree of ease in inspecting or classifying mechanical parts for remanufacturing is defined as inspection-ability and classification-ability. In fact, to remanufacture old parts, inspection-ability and classification-ability should be reflected from the stage of design. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inspection-ability and classification-ability of ships and various mechanical parts. This researcher has presented the quantitative evaluation procedure of inspection-ability and classification-ability, derived the factors and ranges that influence each of the details of easiness, assigned scores according to the ranges of the factors, and calculated weights. Lastly, this study presents the procedure of scoring to evaluate the overall weights of inspection-ability and classification-ability and also inspection-ability and classification-ability quantitatively.

본 연구에서는 중고 레이저 복합기의 재제조 과정에서 복합기의 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 인쇄회로기판(printed circuit board, PCB) 등 전자부품에 대하여 세정공정의 도입 적용 가능성을 분석하고 세정장치 및 최적의 운전조건을 설계하였다. 1단계로 물에 의한 부식의 염려가 없는 건식세정방식으로 플라즈마세정에 의한 세정성을 분석하였다. 플라즈마세정 의한 PCB세정에서는 세정이 어느 정도 이루어졌으나 플라즈마가 전도 될 수 있는 피세정물의 금속 부분 주위에서 피 세정물의 손상을 확인할 수 있었으며 레이저 복합기의 재제조용으로는 생산성 및 경제성이 부족하였다. 2단계에서는 경제성이 있는 초음파세정방식을 위하여 현재 현장에서 사용되고 있는 세정제를 포함하여 세정효율이 우수한 4종의 대체 세정제를 선정하여, 세정제의 물성을 측정하였고 세정성을 평가하였다. 준수계 세정제와 비수계 세정제보다 수계 세정제의 세정력이 우수 하였으며, 초음파 주파수가 작을수록 세정력이 우수하였다. 수계세정제 A를 사용하여 28 kHz의 초음파 세기에서 세정을 한다면 30초~1분 내에 빠른 세정이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 3단계에서는 선정된 세정제로 초음파 세정시스템을 구축하고, 실제 부품들을 초음파 세정하여 현장에서 사용이 적합한 최적의 세정조건을 구하였다. PCB 보드 및 대전기에 대하여 최적 세정 조건을 구한 결과, 40 kHz, $50^{\circ}C$에서 1분 30초 및 2분에 세정을 끝낼 수 있었다. 수작업에 의존하거나 외부처리를 하고 있는 중소 재제조 업체들은 본 세정시스템의 도입으로 전자부품 기능의 신뢰성이 확보되며 전체적인 재제조 공정의 생산성 및 경제성 향상에 큰 효과를 볼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
