| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Remanufacturing, in which reusable parts are taken out from used industrial products and incorporated into newly manufactured products, is superior to the production method in which all parts are newly manufactured and assembled. Reduction of environmental burden can be expected for remanufacturing. However, when reusable parts become physically failed or become obsolete they will not be used, so it is important to properly design the physical life of reusable parts. In this study, we examine an optimal physical life distribution of reusable parts by computer simulation.
