Abstract
The advanced loop-closing challenges to promote industrial ecology especially emphasize the utilization of the recovered materials/parts/products in original and principal production system while keeping their original function at the highest level possible. In this study, the evaluation criteria and the framework to evaluate the parts-reusability were developed by applying AHP to planning the reuse-oriented business in the electric household appliances. The results of the analysis showed that three criteria were emphasized by expert judgment in evaluating parts-reusability of electric household appliances:“easiness of the reliability securing”, “market value” and “demand for repair parts”. Furthermore, the feasibility of parts-reuse of fan motor was enhanced by redesigning the inspection system in reuse process.
