Remanufacturing depends on getting used products back. Can a deposit system give customers an incentive to return them?
Thomas Meyer, responsible for remanufacturing, repair and reuse activities within Knorr-Bremse TruckServices, explains how Knorr-Bremse uses a core deposit in the independent aftermarket to bring parts back for remanufacturing.
What you'll hear in this episode:
• Why the deposit value is linked to the market value of the core, and how returning an equivalent product keeps parts flowing back
• What happens to returned cores, from assessing and disassembling them to deciding which components can be reused, reconditioned or replaced
• Which data and systems are needed to manage remanufacturing, including core return rates, regeneration rates and ERP processes for products coming back
The conversation also covers the economics of remanufactured parts for older vehicles, design for remanufacturing and the challenge of reducing manual work in disassembly.
This is the second episode of our B2B Take-Back series.
