Incorporating production competence into business model developments at an early stage was the reason for the cooperation in this project environment. It quickly became apparent that the process-oriented design of variant groupings, as well as the complex management of product and production process characteristics, generates decisive cost advantages.
In the actual project, we structured the respective interests and influences across all disciplines for potential components to be remanufactured. Since technological and economic aspects cannot be kept apart, our competence in presenting complex relationships in a clear and simple manner and making evaluation recommendations was able to have the best possible effect. We have selected processing solutions for reprocessing, described the economic efficiency and controlled the implementation of the plants and production processes. Today, the components and processes we designed are processed at a supplier’s factory and, in accordance with the law on closed-loop recycling, are put to further use in a very profitable way – both ecologically and economically.
