No full textIn this paper secondary markets opportunities for hybrid remanufacturing/manufacturing systems will be analyzed. Recovering options allow increasing product’s inherent value recovery rate and it have been experimented by many manufacturers for several years. Particularly, the remanufacturing has been receiving great attention from many OEMs. In this case, the joint presence of high quality returns and demand for such products on secondary markets (e.g. emerging markets), makes the management deciding about allocating these units on these secondary markets rather than remanufacturing them and supplying the primary market. To gain insight into such a system a simulation model has been developed by means of Arena and a statistical analysis of data obtained from some experimental campaigns has been carried out. In this way, the factors that mainly impact on system performance and the operating conditions in which selling on the secondary market is more profitable will be identified

About optimal remanufacturing policies and secondary markets supplying
No full textThe synergic action of different actors involved in environmental protection, is pushing more and more companies to adapt and, in some cases, to revolutionize their strategies, plans and their business goals in an "environmentally conscious" way. It is crucial, therefore, to develop and adopt suitable production techniques and EOL management policies for products. Product recovery involves concepts like reuse, remanufacturing and recycling. In many cases, moreover, reuse and remanufacturing could be simultaneously implemented if secondary market supplying is a profitable option. When hybrid remanufacturing/manufacturing systems (HRMSs) are implemented and when secondary markets are supplied with high quality returns, some new issues have to be faced and these systems have to be deeply analyzed to better manage them. With this aim three different policies to supply a secondary market will be compared (two PUSH policies and one PULL policy), which are based upon different stock level control
