Abstract
Remanufacturing is the most valuable product recovery option since here the value added to the product can be obtained. The goal of this contribution is to develop an instrument which supports decision makers in their considerations about implementing a remanufacturing strategy. The framework is built on a two-stage proceeding, where in the first step an approach for modeling this strategic decision process is presented. In the second step, the contribution aims to show how to evaluate alternative decisions economically by developing a life cycle model for remanufacturing and calculating the life cycle costs.
