Design for Reman – Real World Challenges and Opportunities

Description

The ability to recover, reuse, remanufacture, or recycle components depends heavily on how those components are designed. However, end-of-life remanufacturing is often not considered until most fundamental design decisions—such as materials selection and component structure—have already been made, which can limit remanufacture and recycling potential.

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify several challenges of designing for remanufacturing
  2. Understand the importance of making reman a design consideration
  3. See examples of success with designing for multiple life cycles
