In several industries, remanufacturing is an important ingredient of the manufacturing strategy. In a typical remanufacturing site, a job shop is responsible for the disassembly of used machines to obtain parts that will be repaired, or whatever operation is necessary to make it perform and look like new. This paper deals with the value of information in this environment. We compare different s...

We develop and estimate an index-based measure of expected consumer welfare under various carbon emissions control policies in the electricity generation sector. This approach estimates welfare effects by a somewhat less data intensive methodology than econometric approaches or more complex modeling. We include anticipated technological change in the production of renewable and nonrenewable pow...

Renewable energy (RE) policies are widely used to decarbonize power generation and implemented at various governance levels. We use an analytically tractable two-level model study the effects of overlapping RE from federal state governments. find that there contrasting incentives for states support deployment, depending on whether government implements a feed-in tariff (FIT) or auction system. ...

Manufacturing enterprises globally have already largely adopted the product-service strategy into their operations. However, due to gradual commoditization of services, manufacturing enterprises will have to further extend this strategy. One possibility is for manufacturers to servitize, not only their final products, but also a part of their value chain, with the aim of increasing their long-t...

In this paper, the authors will present the state of the art about product and process assessment for remanufacturing of computer controlled automotive components (mechatronics) – by giving an insight into their current research activities in the area, including theoretical analyses, field studies in the car electronic remanufacturing industry, contract research for professional car mechatronic...
