Bi-objective optimisation of remanufacturing decisions with component commonality under different reworking scenarios

Decision-making for remanufacturing is more complicated than that of traditional manufacturing because used or new components can be selected to remanufacture products. It becomes difficult determine the various options and their subsequent effect on at same time. In fact, all decisions made in one activity will have a direct impact taken activities this affect profitability. Therefore, decision-making model proposed support businesses each by using mixed-integer linear programming maximise profit minimise operational remains unknown whether component commonality always benefits remanufacturing. research contributes literature quantifying controlling objectives under different reworking scenarios characterised percentage reworked components, time, cost. When costs are higher, fluctuation increases. The remanufacturer control these situations reducing costs, selecting specific patterns generate high profits choosing appropriate depending scenarios.
