SYSTEM FOR FORECASTING CORE RETURN FOR REMANUFACTURING

摘要

A system for forecasting core return for remanufacturing includes a CPU for executing machine instructions and a memory for storing machine instructions to be executed by the CPU, the machine instructions implementing various operations when executed by the CPU. The operations include receiving at the CPU historical machine data including warranty claims for units of a particular core machine part or assembly, determining from the historical machine data at least one of specific service and failure intervals for the units, determining an actual percent runtime of the units in the field, and forecasting a length of time until a sufficient number of the units of the particular core machine part or assembly needing remanufacturing will be returned to meet a minimum threshold quantity of core for remanufacturing. The operations also include outputting action items to relevant business units based on the forecasted length of time having elapsed to at least one of acquire capital for a remanufacturing operation, set up a remanufacturing line, and assign human resources for the remanufacturing line.
