Remanufacturing is widely regarded as an end-of-life strategy that can improve sustainability and resilience. Remanufacturing restores components to their original functionality, potentially allowing them to reintegrate into standard inventory procedures alongside non-remanufactured components. By going through the literature on design for remanufacturing, this study identifies critical parameters for assessing the ability to remanufacture components, including the ability to disassemble, clean, inspect, repair, upgrade, and test, as well as the cost/resource efficiency of these processes. Based on these parameters, a decision support model is proposed to evaluate whether the components are suitable for remanufacturing. An illustrative example of a circulating pump demonstrates the practicality of the model, distinguishing components suitable for remanufacturing from those better suited for recycling. The findings highlight the potential of integrating a decision support model for end-of-life strategy selection and how such a model can enhance sustainability and resilience.
