Abstract
Remanufacturing is the process of value recovery from the used product that was added during the initial stage of production. It indirectly protects our ecosystem from the negative effects of incineration and landfilling. The remanufacturing process includes various mechanical value-adding steps, such as disassembly, cleaning, inspection, reconditioning, reassembly and testing. Each of these activities requires a high level of human participation and the use of traditional work methods, which lowers the process' efficiency. In this study, we looked for inherent pitfalls in the steps of the remanufacturing process at the first stage. Then, in the second stage, the proper lean tools and techniques are identified and used to overcome them. This leads to waste reduction, productivity improvement, and enhanced efficiency in remanufacturing operations. Further, this research may provide insight to the remanufacturing companies about how to adopt and implement lean tools and techniques into their remanufacturing operations effectively.
