Abstract

Remanufacturing offers the advantages of energy consumption reduction, cost savings, and waste reduction. However, barriers exist along remanufacturing supply chains, from the supply of used products to consumers’ acceptance/preferences for remanufactured products. Thus, support and coordination activities are needed from supply chain members and related stakeholders. This chapter first introduces the background of remanufacturing, discussing current topics and issues with great concerns by practitioners and researchers such as governments’ efforts for remanufacturing, and collection of used products. Then, we introduce the topic of “competitiveness and uncertainties,” which explores how practitioners in a remanufacturing supply chain should face competition and how to coordinate remanufacturing supply chain players to ensure the stability and development of the remanufacturing supply chain. On the topic of “market acceptance,” we introduce how to measure consumers’ preferences, use government subsidies more efficiently, and provide an innovative service mode for remanufactured truck engines. This chapter ends by providing an overview of the evolving remanufacturing supply chain concept, significance, and practice.
