Core variables

Our study shows that there are certain variables which are essential for the success of all remanufacturing operations but there values do not vary from one product type to another. We call these "core variables"
The core variables and their values are given below :


  Ratio: Remanufactured product price / New product price 40 - 60 %
  Ratio: Buy back cost / New product price 0 - 20 %
  Ratio: Remanufacturing cost / New product price 0 - 20 %
  Ratio: Energy for remanufacture / Energy for new product 70 - 90 %
  Stage of industrial life cycle growth or maturity
  Research & Development activity intensity medium or low
  Ratio: Mass of renovated or reused components / Mass of product 10 - 90 %
