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.
