Abstract:
This paper proposes the concept of cross-generational (CG) remanufacturing, integrating remanufactured components into new products for the primary market to overcome trade-offs between new-product cannibalization, pricing and customer acceptance. Employing a CG perspective can reduce costs and increase profits for manufacturers, and appeal to end-customers seeking environmentally responsible choices. Aiming for an explicit nomenclature, the study suggests a definition for CG-Remanufacturing and a classification for products that are especially suitable based on literature review and analysis.
