REMANUFACTURING ORIENTATED OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104516 titled 'REMANUFACTURING ORIENTATED OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application focuses on making real-time operational decisions for remanufacturing operations by analyzing return product quality and configuring the return product to commodity level. It involves developing dynamic optimization models from return product data, creating a plan for a remanufacturing-oriented process, and matching final products to an inventory of return products based on the plan.

  • Dynamic optimization models developed from return product data
  • Plan created for remanufacturing-oriented process
  • Final product matched to inventory of return products
  • Configuration recommendation provided based on the plan

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries where remanufacturing operations are essential, such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in optimizing remanufacturing processes by making real-time operational decisions based on return product quality, ultimately improving efficiency and reducing waste in the production cycle.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased productivity, cost savings, improved product quality, and better resource utilization in remanufacturing operations.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in industries with remanufacturing operations to streamline processes, reduce operational costs, and enhance overall product quality.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing systems or methods used in remanufacturing operations that do not involve real-time operational decision-making based on return product quality.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle variations in return product quality?

The technology does not specify how it adapts to different levels of return product quality and whether it adjusts the configuration recommendation accordingly.

What data sources are used to develop the dynamic optimization models?

The patent application does not detail the specific data sources or types of data used to develop the dynamic optimization models from return product data.


Original Abstract Submitted

making real-time operational decisions for remanufacturing operations by receiving data on return product including analysis of return product quality, and configuring the return product meeting quality threshold to commodity level. at least one dynamic optimization models is developed from data on the return product. a plan is created for a remanufacturing-oriented process from the at least one dynamic optimization models. the dynamic plan declares all activists required to build final product including all alteration and other activities such as disassembly, assembly, quantity needed from each return and replenishment quantity of new commodity. a final product is matched to an inventory of return product based on the plan for the remanufacturing-oriented process to provide a configuration recommendation.
