Active remanufacturing timing determination based on failure state assessment

Abstract

Nowadays, since the resources of remanufacturing are the "cores", the uncertainty in quantity and quality of the "cores" is an important issue in remanufacturing engineering. To meet with this issue, the concept of active remanufacturing is discussed and presented in this paper. It is elaborated from the aspects of product performance degradation and the failure state of key components, based on which the active remanufacturing timing determination mechanism is put forward. Finally, to validate the mechanism, the active remanufacturing timing of engines is determined by analyzing the crankshaft.
