| description | The adoption of remanufacturing technology is gaining traction, considering sustainability principles and the goal of fostering a resource-efficient society. However, given the unique environment of construction sites and the context of incorporating lean production into remanufacturing, implementing remanufacturing concepts in the construction industry presents significant obstacles. The goal of this article is to provide guidance and recommendations for construction professionals when developing remanufacturing plans, including circumstances, insights, and methodology for implementation. Initially, this study distinguishes the widely used ‘3R’ terminology (reduce, reuse, and recycle) from the concept of remanufacturing applicable to the construction industry. It then investigates the characteristics of the ‘core’ (items to be remanufactured) of construction components, as well as evaluates and restructures key influencing aspects associated with remanufacturing techniques. A careful assessment of the literature and detailed descriptions help to clarify these factors. The findings show that these criteria have a double impact on remanufacturing and that successful remanufacturing techniques necessitate a mix of flexibility, safety, and stability. Finally, a ‘tumbler’ approach was offered for experts in construction component professionals, allowing key influencing factors to play a more inclusive and dependable role in the development of remanufacturing strategies. |
