摘 要:In addition to being environmentally friendly,remanufactured products are popular with consumers because they offer the latest technology at a lower price,in comparison to brand new ***,some consumers hesitate to buy remanufactured products because they are skeptical about their ***,they are unsure of the extent to which the product will render services when compared to a new product.A promotional marketing strategy employed by remanufacturers is to offer warranties for these *** that end,this study scrutinizes the impact of offering non-renewing warranties on remanufactured ***,in this paper,a methodology is suggested,which simultaneously minimizes the cost incurred by the remanufacturers and maximizes consumer confidence toward buying remanufactured *** study uses a discrete-event simulation to optimize the implementation of a two-dimensional non-renewing warranty policy for remanufactured *** implementation is illustrated using a specific product recovery system called the Advanced Remanufacturing-To-Order *** experiments in the study were designed using Taguchi’s Orthogonal Arrays to represent the entire domain of the recovery system to observe system behavior under various experimental conditions.
