برنامه ریزی فرایند برای بازسازی تجهیزات فناوری اطلاعات

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.

Reuse and Remanufacturing of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are a matter of current concern, driven by economic, ecologic, social and legislative factors. The potential that lies in the reuse and remanufacturing of IT-equipment is not fully exploited yet. Only a few specific products have been considered – e.g. mobile telephones [1], [2], [3] and [4] – and not all treatment opportunities available are applied. Moreover the financial uncertainties concerning product quantities, types and conditions that are long associated with remanufacturing processes limit the entrance of new actors into the sector. Although planning decisions highly influence the efficiency of a production system carrying out remanufacturing operations, decision support and planning tools, which are standard in assembly industries, are seldom available and applied. The need for such tools is evident. Based on a market analysis and the identification of actors that are aiming to extend their operations by establishing remanufacturing processes as value adding processes, an integrated planning system is presented in this paper.
