Due to high product and resulting process variety, static analytical approaches to assess and improve remanufacturing operations are not reliable. Whereas dynamic material flow simulation is a promising approach. Unfortunately, there is a lack of knowledge when it comes to simulation based improvement of remanufacturing operations. To close the lack of knowledge, this paper will show a modular simulation model to improve production systems of remanufacturing operations. The results will enable remanufacturing companies to assess and improve their production systems in an efficient way.enMaterialflusssimulationFertigungssystemremanufacturingModularisierungjournal article
