再制造通过提供多个生命周期促进产品的多种用途，并通过减少原材料和能源消耗促进更可持续的社会。以往关于再制造可持续性评价的研究主要集中在生命周期设计和生命周期工程方法上。就可持续性问题而言，关于再制造卓越运营的评估存在研究空白。可持续发展原则在日常商业运作中的应用问题是缺乏明确定义的可持续性指标，这些指标可用于评估再制造活动。在本文中，作者提出了一套指标，用于可持续发展评估的标准，并解决公司分类。作者定义了三类公司，它们对不同的可持续发展水平做出了反应。本文的目的是为基于灰色决策的决策提供一种新的工具。该工具有助于对再制造操作的当前状态进行分类，然后识别并优先考虑公司中需要改进的操作。作者提出的数值例子，以解释决策过程，并指出如何应用灰色决策（GDM）可以促进更可持续的社会。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Remanufacturing facilitates multiple usages of products by providing several life cycles and contributes to more sustainable societies by the reduction of raw materials and energy consumption. Previous studies on sustainability assessment in remanufacturing focus predominantly on the life cycle design and the life cycle engineering approach. There is a research gap regarding the assessment of remanufacturing operational excellence as far as sustainability issues are concerned. The problem in the application of the principles of sustainable development in everyday business operations is the lack of clearly defined sustainability indicators, which might be used in the assessment of remanufacturing activities. In this paper authors present a set of indicators which are used as the criteria for sustainability assessment and to address company classification. Authors define three classes of companies, which respond to the different sustainability levels. The aim of this paper is to provide a new tool for decision making based on Grey Decisions Making. This tool helps in classifying the current state of remanufacturing operations, and then identifying and prioritizing operations in the company which need improvement actions. The authors present the numerical example in order to explain the decision making process and indicate how the application of Grey Decision Making (GDM) can contribute towards more sustainable societies.
