Elevate Remanufacturing to Higher Levels, by Innovation

Elevate Remanufacturing to higher Levels, by Innovation by Fernand J. Weiland Consultant & Editor Munich March 7, 2018 Workshop & Visit of Alec, Munich (Germany)

Reman Penetration of Aftermarket Remanufacturg. Level two Remanufacturg. Level three Remanufacturg. Level one Elevate Remanufacturing to higher levels, by Innovation Market Share of Remanufactured products Market Share of OE new, copied new, second hand & basic repairs

Reman Market Penetration by Sector • • • Automotive Aerospace Industrial Industri Future Higher Level • Information Technology • Health Care • Consumer Workshop & Visit of Alec, Munich (Germany)

Elevate Reman to higher levels • • • By improving market conditions & acceptance By stimulating synergies between reman sectors By greater political support By embracing actively Circular Economy By high efficient return logistics By intelligent (reverse) engineering By technical innovation like : • • high recovering/recuperating rates product upgrading & quality management high efficient/productive reman processes broader product base Elevate Remanufacturing higher levels, by Innovation Workshop & Visit ofto Alec, Munich (Germany)

Potential Areas of Reman Innovation By technical innovation like : • high recovering/recuperating rates by metal deposition, Plasma spray , re-engineering etc. • product upgrading & quality management like for electronic controllers, etc. • high efficient/productive reman processes like efficient return logistic, additive manufacturg. , robots collaboration etc. • broader product base like Lithium batteries, wind turbines, automotive headlamps, etc. Workshop & Visit of Alec, Munich (Germany)
