All,

The idea of manufacturers adopting more of a more circular economy is not new, we have been discussing it for years (“Every end is a new beginning” - Volvo Remanufacturing (ifs.com))

With our latest IFS Cloud 23R2 release, we have added more capabilities to support customers wanting to expand in this area, so I wanted to ask the question as to which of you are either operating a circular economy, or plan to in the next 12 months.

Please add your comments below so that as a community we can learn from each other as to how it is affecting you and others.

Thanks,

Antony

Hi Linda,

I like what you are doing at Prodrive, but this example is not true remanufacturing.

Remanufacturing is the rebuilding of a product to specifications of the original manufactured product using a combination of reused, repaired and new parts.

So basically, taking something back from a customer, taking it apart, and reusing parts as much as possible as opposed to buying/making new components.

But thanks for the link!

Regards,

Antony
