Detailed literature review on reliability analysis in remanufacturing

ReferencesObjectivePros and consMethodologyApplication
Kara et al., 2007 To assess the reusability of a reused product by considering the reliability and remaining useful life of the used productA comparative study is done among the results which are obtained from various methods such as multiple regression analysis, ordinary kriging, universal kriging and artificial intelligence methodA two-stage methodology is developed. In the first stage of the methodology, trend analysis is done to calculate the operating life from the maintenance data and later remaining life is calculatedElectric Motor
Mazhar et al. (2007) Estimation of remaining useful life of a productMultiple Regression method is used to represent the behaviour of some parameters over remaining life of a productStatistical analysis is done in the first phase to check the reusability of the product and in second phase the remaining useful life is calculated by using Multiple regression analysis and Artificial Neuron Network (ANN)Electric Motor of a Washing Machine
