The application of lean manufacturing principles in a remanufacturing company

Remanufacturing is a production system that turns products, whose expected lifes are over or ended by any reason, back to life. In order to make the cheapest and the most accurate production, lean manufacturing uses minimum resource and minumum time without any waste. Remanufacturing limits usage of some lean manufacturing principles. The most important limitations among the others are used products that comes at uncertain time and amounts, and also the routes they have to follow to become remanufactured. This study tries to find efficient and fast remanufacturing ways with the help of lean manufacturing principles.
