Design for remanufacture
Course Summary
Remanufacturing is a term coined for the process of taking a previously sold, worn, non-functional product or component and reviving it to turn it into a like-new condition which thereby extends the product lifecycle.
The process of remanufacturing is becoming increasingly popular across many industries ranging from aerospace to food production thanks to the reduction in resources and offering a more sustainable manufacturing solution.
Following on from the Introduction to remanufacturing course, this self-directed online course will cover design for remanufactured, commonly referred to as DfRem. The course will offer you a full understanding of DfRem highlighting the importance, and the benefits of adopting such a strategy. In addition, the course will also cover the design for 'X' approaches.
By undertaking this course, we hope that it will inspire those working in manufacturing to adopt a remanufacturing process into their business.

This course has been developed by NMIS Manufacturing Skills Academy with support from The Scottish Institute or Remanufacturing.
This course is suited to manufacturing leaders, operations managers, and others from smaller manufacturing companies who are interested in learning about remanufacturing. We also recommend that participants undertake the Introduction to remanufacturing course, in order to get the best overview of remanufacturing.
The Scottish Institute for Remanufacturing stimulates and supports the remanufacturing community in Scotland and beyond, by providing the catalyst for collaborative links between academia and industry to work effectively on joint projects and demonstrators, identifying funding opportunities, and providing a central hub of knowledge and expertise to allow businesses to develop and sustain remanufacturing business models.
The Scottish Institute for Remanufacturing is a partner of the NMIS Capability Network. Find out more.
