Title Setting the Stage for Research on Aftermarket Production Systems in Operations Management
Year 2021
Published
Abstract Reduction of resource consumption is essential to the Sustainable Development Goals. One key strategy for achieving this is product life-extension. Products can be maintained or remanufactured to a condition that is better than new. A fragmented literature uses terms such as remanufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), or simply service, to refer to various forms of product life-extension. Even though different terms are used, these operations share common characteristics and challenges that are distinctive compared to traditional manufacturing. Addressing the ambiguous use of terms for product life-extending operations and the fragmented body of knowledge, we introduce Aftermarket Production Systems (AmPS) as an umbrella term for industrialized product life-extending operations. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of AmPS-related literature and to discuss future directions for research on industrialized product life-extending operations.
