Active remanufacturing is an important technique that is used to reduce the uncertainty of the quality of remanufactured cores. However, the implementation of active remanufacturing too early or late will lead to a reduction in economic benefits and an increase in environmental impact during the whole life cycle of the product. To this end, an active-remanufacturing-timing decision method is proposed based on an economic, energy and environmental (3E) analysis of product life cycle. In this method, the quantitative function of the cost, energy consumption and environmental emissions of used products in the manufacturing stage, service stage, and remanufacturing stage are firstly constructed based on life-cycle assessment (LCA) and life-cycle cost (LCC). Then, a multi-objective optimization method and the particle swarm algorithm are utilized to obtain active-remanufacturing timing with the optimal economic and environmental benefits of remanufacturing. Finally, a case study on remanufacturing on used engines is demonstrated to validate the proposed method.
