| Abstract |
Remanufacturing has received extensive attention due to its advantages in material and energy saving, emission reduction and is often considered a viable approach for the realization of a circular economy. Remanufacturing ecological performance reflects the ability of an enterprise to balance economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, evaluating the remanufacturing ecological performance is of great significance for leveraging the benefits of remanufacturing and promoting the concept of sustainability and the implementation of a circular economy in the industry. To this end, a set of data-driven techniques, i.e., data envelopment analysis, R clustering and grey relational analysis, are deployed to analyze and evaluate the ecological performance of a remanufacturing process. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method are illustrated via a case study of remanufacturing for hydraulic cylinder and boom cylinder. Furthermore, a number of critical factors, e.g., energy-saving rate, remanufacturing process cost and rate of remanufacturing, for end-of-life products have been identified as the key drivers impacting the remanufacturing ecological performance. So as to improve remanufacturing ecological performance, optimizing production technology, implementing lean remanufacturing and raising public acceptability over remanufacturing products are effective measures. The research results of the present work can provide support for remanufacturing enterprises to guide and improve their ecological performance and formulate better development strategies. |
