Reuse/sharing business design method considering the difficulties for product transfer

摘要

The objective of this study is to propose a reuse/sharing business design method especially focusing on the two different factors: the benefit obtained by component (or product) reuse (or sharing) and its resulting cost. To this end, we first propose a calculation model of the benefit of and costs for the component reuse/sharing considering the necessary transportation and component installation/uninstallation tasks. Then, we propose a reuse/sharing design method that screens out a profitable set of components in addition with the groups of the users among which each corresponding component is to be reused or shared. A simplified calculation example is also provided to illustrate the method.
