Abstract

Circular economy put in light the remanufacturing as a potential good scenario to encourage sustainability. However, designing sustainable remanufacturing systems is not an easy task. Many different tools and methods have been developed to help this design, but it is still difficult to identify them when you are a company starting on the subject or searching for a tool for a specific objective. To support decisions making for designing products and production systems for remanufacturing activities a method to classify all these tools is proposed. This method helps engineers to select the most appropriate tools in their development process regarding the system performance and the sustainable performance. A method and an interface to guide the designers in choosing remanufacturing tools/methods have been developed. A case study is used to illustrate this proposition.
