Abstract

This research examines the impact of customer perceived disposal hardship on the post-consumer product remanufacturing activities. The post-consumer products are classified into three categories according to their corresponding level of intelligence. An agent-based simulation model is developed and used to explore different intelligent scenarios. The results suggest that the higher embedded product intelligence, the more effective post-consumer products acquisition management for remanufacturing.
