Today employing the remanufactured and refurbished strategies are the best choices to use the best equipment as well as manage the operational cost. It also helps to enhance the profitability and protect the environment from e-waste. Although used products give an opportunity to purchase latest technology, customers are doubtful about quality and reliability of these products. Because of limitation of buying used products, some countries set warranty requirement to ensure reliability. In this paper, we aim to have a comparative view between two upgrading strategies named refurbished, remanufactured and estimating the effect of selecting these strategies on warranty cost and company’s profitability, and on the other hand, we compare this result with new product outcome. For this purpose, the failure data of 60 medical devices of a leading company has analyzed from 2013 to 2014. For each strategy (performing remanufactured,performing refurbished and buying new products), 10 devices were selected and monitored over a year. The result shows that remanufactured strategy causes reasonable warranty costs and profitability. This help manager to have a deep understanding, and decide on the profitable strategies leads to improve their competitiveness. 2016-01-06T03:36:54Z 2016-01-06T03:36:54Z 2015-10 Article International Journal of Business and Technopreneurship, vol.5(3), 2015, pages 407-420 2231-7090 http://ijbt.unimap.edu.my http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/40727 en School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) |
