Remanufacturing Case Studies

Case studies

The platform and methodology will be complemented by a series of industrial case studies that demonstrate the benefits of its application across various industries. In four reuse and remanufacturing case studies, OEMs used the ResCoM software platform and framework to implement closed-loop product systems in their industries. Lessons learned from the pilots helped to develop generic guidelines for adapting the ResCoM framework to individual companies and facilitate market uptake.

Bugaboo

Bugaboo developed a flexible leasing plan of their innovative pushchairs and strollers and combines it with value creation through reuse and remanufacturing.

Gorenje

Gorenje explored alternative business models for their washing machines including leasing plans and selling wash cycles instead of products. Additionally, the company developed a parallel business of product returns for remanufacturing.

Loewe

Loewe wants to increase the life of their products by turning televisions into entertainment platforms where maintenance and upgrade of the experience via ‘product features’ becomes the new key component of the business model.

tedrive

tedrive aimed to understand how new business models, product design, supply chain and IT solutions can increase the share of reuse of their steering equipment and optimise their remanufacturing operations.
