Description
Summary:Brake shoe remanufacturing is the best alternative mode of sustainable manufacturing when compared to conventional manufacturing”. This fact was evolved mainly due to the less remanufacturing costs and lesser processing steps than a conventionally manufactured brake shoe. The knowledge about the environmental impacts of conventionally manufactured brake shoe and remanufactured brake shoe is null. When searched for published study or articles of life cycle assessment about this automobile component there are no results relating to this study.
