再制造是我们社会走向循环经济的关键组成部分。与新制造相比，再制造具有高可变性、高不确定性和复杂性的特点。因此，再制造商需要能够适应复杂性并灵活调整其流程。尤其是再制造过程的规划和控制能力尤为重要。然而，到目前为止，支持这一点的实用方法很少。因此，本文旨在提出一种基于松耦合系统概念的再制造团队和过程设计方法。在所提出的方法中，设计结构矩阵（DSM）被应用到识别松散耦合的子系统，使本地化的影响，在自己的变化。这些子系统也被视为跨职能团队，减少了各部门之间的协调工作，因此，增加了对不确定性的适应性。作为一个初步的验证，所提出的方法被应用到一个真实的情况下的再制造，然后发现是有效的创建团队和过程的再制造过程规划和控制取决于给定的不确定性。
Remanufacturing is a crucial component for our societies to move toward a circular economy. Compared with new manufacturing, the distinctive nature of remanufacturing is found to have high variability, high uncertainty and, thereby, complexity. Therefore, remanufacturers need to be able to adapt to the complexity and to flexibly adjust their processes. Especially, the ability to remanufacturing process planning and control is important. However, few practical methods supporting that are available so far. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a method for designing teams and processes in remanufacturing based on the concept of loosely coupled systems. In the proposed method, design structure matrix (DSM) is applied to identify loosely coupled sub-systems that enable to localize impacts of changes within themselves. These sub-systems are also regarded as cross-functional teams that reduce coordination efforts among line departments and, therefore, increase the adaptability against uncertainties. As a preliminary validation, the proposed method was applied to a real case of remanufacturing, and then found to be effective for creating teams and processes for remanufacturing process planning and control depending on given uncertainties.
