Logistic Concepts for Take-Back-Systems for Used Electronic Automotive Spare Parts
Abstract
As series of test programs like in the ReECar project have shown electronic assemblies from used cars are not "old iron". Used control units of anti-skid systems (ABS) or central control units fulfil the same qualification process like new products. In order to include used but qualified assemblies in a manufacturers spare part program over 15 years as an inherent part, special logistic and information logistic concepts are required. In contrast to the public market reusing used electronic car assemblies, the manufacturer's market is not well developed up to date. The paper presents the finding process of a framework regarding the market of end of life vehicles (ELV).Furthermore, results concerning the available quantity of interesting assemblies as well as the time and costs for dismantling, collecting and redistributing are presented. The paper describes a framework based on standard interfaces proposed for data exchange between manufacturers, service operation and "automotive treatment facilities" (ATF) resource planning systems. Thus it contributes to the sustainable use of resources in the automotive area considering economic and social aspects by logistic and information logistic concepts for electronic part reuse.
