Research On Green Remanufacturing Design Management

This dissertation focuses on green remanufacturing design management, aiming to build up the management system and content framework of green remanufacturing design management. This dissertation is a comprehensive and systematic study on green remanufacturing design management, which can provide reference for relevant enterprises. The empirical study takes Xerox Copier Green Remanufacturing Company as an example, and manages to support the relevant conclusion drawn in the theoretical part and to demonstrate the fundamental rules of green remanufacturing design management. Meanwhile, some recommendations are made to improve Xerox's design management according to its shortcomings. Specifically, the dissertation consists of eight sections as follows:Sectionâ… is introduction. It states the background, purpose as well as the significance of the study on green remanufacturing design management. It sums up the status quo of green remanufacturing design management at home and abroad. Based on that, this section states what is to be explored, how it is to be explored in the study and the technological path of the study.Sectionâ…¡focuses on the basic theory of green remanufacturing design management. At first, it explains the concept and characteristics of green remanufacturing, and describes the content and tasks, as well as the system and characteristics of green remanufacturing design management. Then, it studies on green remanufacturing design management from three perspectives:the life-cycle perspective, the external economic perspective and the cooperative game perspective, and establishes a dynamic game model of green remanufacturing design management strategic alliances.Sectionâ…¢is green remanufacturing design analysis. Firstly, it explores the factors affecting the remanufacturability assessment of new products and used products, and establishes an evaluation model of products' remanufacturability and a fuzzy evaluation model of green remanufacturing product design proposals. Secondly, it points out the importance of the green remanufacturing design plan. Lastly, it discusses four commonly used green remanufacturing cost evaluation methods, and explores the normal suitable moments to carry out green remanufacturing.Sectionâ…£focuses on design process management in green remanufacturing enterprises. It explains the concept of the design process management in green remanufacturing enterprises. Then, it summaries the shortcomings of the traditional serial.design process, and made some recommendations to improve design process in green remanufacturing enterprises. Meanwhile, it explores the green remanufacturing design management mode based on concurrent engineering.Sectionâ…¤explores design platform management in green remanufacturing enterprises. It points out the necessity of building up a design platform in green remanufacturing enterprises. In order to improve the design platform management in green remanufacturing enterprises, open management and distributed management are recommended. Then, it discusses the importance and the implementation procedures of green modular design management based on design platform in green remanufacturing enterprises.Sectionâ…¥discusses the sub-area design management of green remanufacturing process. It summaries the characteristics, content and basic principles of production management in green remanufacturing enterprises, and establishes a green remanufacturing enterprises' production optimization decision-making model. Furthermore, it analyzes the characteristics of logistics network in green remanufacturing enterprises, and establishes a green remanufacturing enterprises' logistics optimization model. Lastly, it studies on the marketing design management of green remanufacturing products.Sectionâ…¦is a case study exemplifying Xerox Copier Green Remanufacturing Company, whose design management experience is analyzed, aiming to provide reference for other fields' remanufacturing enterprises. Meanwhile, some recommendations are made to improve Xerox's design management according to its shortcomings.Sectionâ…§is a full summary and research prospects. This section summarizes the main research work and the innovation of this dissertation, and illustrates the problems which haven't been studied in this dissertation due to conditions or other reasons and proposes future research prospects.
