Business model development and implementation Remanufacturing

Bringing production expertise 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 application, we structured across all disciplines the respective interests and influences for potential components to be remanufactured. Since technological and economic aspects cannot be kept apart in this context, our expertise in presenting complex interrelationships in a clear and simple manner and making evaluation recommendations was able to have the best possible effect. We selected processes for reprocessing, described the economic viability and managed the implementation of the equipment and production processes. Today, the components and processes designed by us are processed in a plant at a supplier and, in accordance with the law on closed-loop recycling, are put to further use in an ecologically and economically very profitable way.
