SUMMARY

Welcome to the TFKN+, “Overcoming Remanufacturing Challenges with Discrete Event Simulation: A Case-Based Introduction” Lesson!

This lesson explores how Discrete Event Simulation (DES) can assist with addressing key challenges in remanufacturing, such as variability in returned product quality and complex process interdependencies.

Whether you’re an engineer, designer, or sustainability advocate, you’ll gain valuable insights into how to leverage Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to enhance decision-making in remanufacturing through a real-world-inspired case study, illustrating how DES enables decision-makers to optimize strategies under uncertain conditions.

Moreover, feel free to explore a wide array of videos, articles, papers and books, in the extra materials part of the lesson. Let us get started!
