to solve this problem, but for finding the more effective solution there are some criteria such as environmental benefits, accessibility for people and feasibility. This paper will introduce and analyse remanufacturing and recycling using these criteria. This essay will argue that remanufacturing is the most effective solution by evaluation of two proposed solving. One of the known solutions to e-waste is recycling. Recycling is “the process of changing waste materials such as newspapers and
The objective of any intelligent business manager should be to optimize all activities and ensure that the maximum value is achieved for every Dollar that is spent by the company. Some of the activities associated with reverse logistics are remanufacturing, recycling, reconditioning, warranty management, call-center management, and transportation. The main goal of reverse logistics is to facilitate these activities in a manner that helps the company to meet its corporate objectives. That is why
Since the beginning of human civilization there has been movement of goods from one place to another. When it comes to modern logistics most professionals thinks it as the most exciting and competitive area of any business. People in this area work 24 hours a day, 7 days week and 52 weeks a year in order to satisfy the demands and needs of the consumers of goods and services. Logistics consists of those activities that focus on getting the right amount of the right products to the right place at
Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design analysis and manufacturing of mechanical systems. This major is highly math especially calculus and physics-based one of the great things about mechanical engineering is that is highly versatile in what you can do. Students who graduate as a mechanical engineering major can go into construction, automotive, heating, and air-conditioning, robotics, combustion engines, and much more. Mechanical Engineering is one of the fastest

point of consumption to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal. It is the process of returning goods from consumers back to suppliers. Also comprises of sending new or used products backup stream for repair, remanufacturing, reusing, recycling and refurbishing activities. Hang Ten does not carry out reverse logistics. Probably, because the process is tedious and very costly in terms of transportation and it also cost more to recollect back the goods and Hang Ten
Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays one of the most primitive roles in determining the successful running of a business, especially the one that deals with food sector. Having an efficient and effective supply chain is a prerequisite to maintain the quality of product, as well as the process when we talk about food industry. Reverse Logistics, being an integral part of SCM, is usually neglected, specifically in the Indian industry given a few important constraints. The 5 major attributes of Reverse
2.0 Literature Review 2.1 Sustainability in supply chain management (SSCM) Supply chain sustainability is the management of three pillars (Environmental, Social and Economic) impacts, with the encouragement of good governance practices throughout the lifecycles of goods and services. The objective of supply chain sustainability is to create, protect and grow long-term environmental, social and economic value for all stakeholders involved in bringing products and services to market (BSR, 2000).
Directors of the WRI. The WRI is an environmental group that uses research to find applied ways to safeguard the earth and improve people’s existence (“Sustainability Report,” 2012). Remanufacturing is one of the processes that Caterpillar utilizes to create sustainability throughout the world. Remanufacturing avoids waste through its salvage of materials and the associated resource savings. Sustainability organizations need to forge sustainability strategies which distribute them with cost-effective
neglecting the fact that it is because of this planet and what it provides us for which we are able to survive, but it is time we change, not only our behavior but also our thinking. Recycling generally means the process separating, collecting and remanufacturing or converting used or old products into new products. Through recycling, we are extending the life and usefulness of something that has already served its init...
What effect would it have on the environment and long-term sustainable development if businesses were to provide services, such as illumination, instead of selling products, such as light bulbs? This concept, referred to as the economy of service and flow, constitutes one of the basic principles of natural capitalism as expressed by Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins in their book "Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution". The idea is to take advantage of cost efficiencies
Christopher (2011) argues that the term called reverse logistics is used to depict the step of taking products back, generally at the end-of-life, but also for repair and recall. Reverse logistics can be defined as a chain of process to recover or sell the value of a product. That is if a company think supply chain stream in reverse, the one can make a decision the best way to deal with the bounced product. Especially, reverse logistics has received keen attention in the supply chain literature,
Organizational Development The company’s strategy, decisions and actions are guided by the basic principle of sustainability. Mercedes Benz defines sustainability as directing business capably to ensure long-term success in harmony with the environment and society. Benz is continually moving toward their objectives by making sustainability a solidly incorporated part of their operations and by requiring and advancing a sense of awareness for sustainable operations among all of their leadership team
Living in this age of technology driven communication, rapid data transfer, and development of new processes has its many advantages. Humans have been able to work harder, faster, and more efficiently because of how everything has advanced. While there are many reasons to be grateful for these changes, there are also some questions relating to the economic model that has been presented. By looking more closely at both linear and circular economics, one should be able to gain a better understanding
ABSTRACT Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays one of the most primitive roles in determining the successful running of a business, especially the one that deals with food sector. Having an efficient and effective supply chain is a prerequisite to maintain the quality of product, as well as the process when we talk about food industry. Reverse Logistics, being an integral part of SCM, is usually neglected, specifically in the Indian industry given a few important constraints. The 5 major attributes
Depression was a very devastating fall for our economy. Although people barely had money to keep food in their stomachs, they continued to buy enough bread, vegetables, beans, etc. to have a little money circulating in the economy. Also, repairing, remanufacturing and refurbishing items are good ways to have a product and find many new ways to approach and use the product. Reusing the product prevents solid waste from entering landfills, improves our communities, and increases the material, educational
The recycling concept concerns reusing or remanufacturing to form a less polluted and healthy environment suitable to live in. In the late 1990’s people consume large amount of products that at that time the average usage waste of the product s is approximately 200 pounds of wastes per day from each person in the united states ( Biswas et al., 2000). Year after another the wastes kept growing until they developed recycling industry to solve the problem. In addition, Biswas et al. (2000) also mentioned
