Remanufacturing is a domain that has increasingly been exploited during recent years due to its numerous advantages and the increasing need for society to promote a circular economy leading to sustainability. Remanufacturing is one of the main end-of-life (EoL) options that can lead to a circular economy. There is therefore a strong need to prioritize this option over other available options at the end-of-life stage of a product because it is the only recovery option that maintains the same quality as that of a new product. This review focuses on the different lifecycle strategies that can help improve remanufacturing; in other words, the various strategies prior to, during or after the end-of-life of a product that can increase the chances of that product being remanufactured rather than being recycled or disposed of after its end-of-use. The emergence of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as industry 4.0 (I4.0), will help enhance data acquisition and sharing between different stages in the supply chain, as well boost smart remanufacturing techniques. This review examines how strategies like design for remanufacturing (DfRem), remaining useful life (RUL), product service system (PSS), closed-loop supply chain (CLSC), smart remanufacturing, EoL product collection and reverse logistics (RL) can enhance remanufacturing. We should bear in mind that not all products can be remanufactured, so other options are also considered. This review mainly focuses on products that can be remanufactured. For this review, we used 181 research papers from three databases; Science Direct, Web of Science and Scopus.

This paper provides and illustrates a design-based learning (DBL) and outcome-based education (OBE) approach for fostering the innovation, practice, and autonomous learning ability of industrial engineering students. We performed two studies with on industrial engineering students in typical educational activities. The first study used a topic of “sheet metal parts turnover protection optimization” to explore the application effect of “DBL + OBE” and its shortcomings in the implementation process, so as to help students understand this new teaching method. Then, in order to verify the use effect of “DBL + OBE”, the second study used the topic of “production line balance” to divide the students into an experimental class and a control class. The experimental class adopted the design learning teaching method, while the control class adopted the traditional teaching method. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, students and teachers were interviewed. It was found that the students in the experimental class were more outstanding in personal abilities, such as systematic thinking, independent innovation ability, etc. The results show that: the rational use of design-based learning and outcome-based education concept can stimulate students’ interest in learning, cultivate students’ team spirit, improve students’ innovation ability, practical ability and problem solving ability, and cultivate “innovative talents” needed in the new era.
