Remanufacturing and 4R Strategy in Analysis of Advancing the Production of Level Transmitter Type: The Case of Serbia

Miloš Vorkapić; Siniša Minić

This paper presents the algorithm incorporating implemented strategies: remanufacturing and 4R. As an example, level transmitter has been analyzed at the end of its lifetime. Reusing the transmitter is realized through: verification, disassembly and reassembly, replacement of parts, cleaning, and testing. The paper gives an example how to save on materials and energy appearing as a large losses during the manufacturing process. Just from this standpoint, mentioned strategies are of great significance for sustainable development of production companies in Serbia. The algorithm represents how domestic companies should ensure and improve the production process but as well to improve communication with customers and a better business envoronment. Customer appears as a supplier of used products, thereby changing the business philosophy in designing products for more life cycles.
