The Impact of Remanufacturing in the Economy

Geraldo Ferrer' and Robert U. Ayres2

Abstract

The 43-sector aggregation of the French input-output model is used to evaluate the impact thatremanufacturing may have on the economy. Very few durable goods are recovered at the end oftheir useful lives. In this paper, we evaluate several hypothetical scenarios whereremanufacturing becomes the usual practice. It would have direct impacts on the demand forseveral inputs. We adapt the inter-industry input-output framework so as to take intoconsideration these changes. The analysis assumes that the remanufacturing sector substitutesusual inputs such as raw materials and semi-finished goods for labor and transport services. Inaddition it is assumed that the final demand for all goods is unchanged. As a result, we find thatremanufacturing reduces the total output from all sectors while increasing the value of laborregarding the demanded goods.Keywords: remanufacturing, product recovery, inter-industry flows, input-output model, France

1. Introduction

The production of durable goods represents an important contribution to the GNP of all

developed countries. It employs large amounts of human resources, raw materials and energy.

However, most of the resources consumed are not renewable. The minerals that provide most

of the raw materials and energy in the production of durable goods have been continually

depleted. Moreover, many durable products are disposed in landfills at the end of their useful

lives. The landfill space has been decreasing and the price charged by the landfills still in

operation have increased very fast.

It has been suggested that remanufacturing is one approach to deal with the used durable

goods at the time of disposal, because of two first-order effects. In the production side,

remanufacturing reduces the demand for raw materials since part of the production is assured

by the recovery of used goods: it is the resource conservation effect. In the disposal side,

remanufacturing provides an alternative stream for used durable goods at the end of their

useful lives, thus reducing the amount of material being landfilled given that significant

fractions of the durable goods are reused: it is the emissions reduction effect.

Today, there are two major constraints precluding the expansion of remanufacturing

activities. The existing infra-structure is not suitable for the return flow, and most products

arriving at the end of the first useful life are not designed for recovery. This situation may

change. Manufacturers are more conscious of their responsibility regarding product disposal;

meanwhile, changes in legislation may require manufacturers (or importers) to take back the

carcasses of end-of-life automobiles, electronic goods and other durable products for

responsible disposal. Consequently, when the industry adopts efficient methods of product

recovery, one may see a substantial increase in the remanufacturing activity, even if regulation

fails to require it. Since remanufacturing affects the level of consumption of several inputs

(raw materials, labor and energy), it will have significant impact on the economy once it

becomes a generalized practice.

The remanufacturing success stories available today (photocopiers, disposable cameras)

represent a tiny fraction of economic activity. Thus, we cannot be certain about their second-

order effects if remanufacturing becomes a general practice. For example, intuition says that

the reduction in the consumption of raw materials will reduce the demand from utility suppliers

and machinery manufacturers. Likewise, we expect that employment will be reduced in the

same industries. But it is hard to guess what direction total employment will take, since

remanufacturing is also a labor intensive activity.' If remanufactured products secure

significant market shares, these questions have to be dealt carefully, in order to assure that

remanufacturing does not have a harmful impact in the economy.

In this paper, we develop a model for evaluating the economic impact of a generalized

product recovery and remanufacturing activity. We examine the structure of the inter-industry

input-output model to identify the changes incurred once we incorporate the remanufactured

dual of the original industries. The model gives insights on the changes in demand for labor,

energy and raw materials. It is structured around the input-output table for the French

economy in 1991.

The matrix of inter-industry relations is augmented, to incorporate the remanufactured

sector, and adapted, to recognize the different demands in labor, energy, raw materials, and

inputs from the other industries. It is assumed that the physical demand for the product being

remanufactured is constant. In addition, it is assumed that the remanufactured product is sold

at a price lower than that of a new good. Consequently, because of the unit price reduction,

the monetary demand (total sales) is reduced. This drives the first-order effect of

implementing remanufacturing. However, the higher-order effects are harder to estimate, but

the model adaptation in this paper allows the identification of their impact.

Key questions are: what would it happen if durable goods, such as automobiles, trucks,

televisions and personal computers, were substantially remanufactured? How would it affect

the demand for the traditional inputs in these industries? How would the massive presence of

3 The argument is quite straightforward: primary production (usually "mass production") is much moreable to capture economies of scale than secondary production (or remanufacturing). Due to heterogeneousinputs, small batches is the typical production rule. Also, disassembly is inherently more labor intensive, andless amenable to automation than is assembly.

remanufactured goods affect the demand for raw materials? Some of the inputs, like energy

and semi-finished goods, are expected to decline but labor utilization might increase. The main

contribution of this paper is to generate the methodology that enables answering these

questions. In order to decide on the implementation of take-back regulations, policy makers

and industrial lobbies need to understand the consequences of such decisions in the whole

economy

2. The input-output methodology

The input-output model was first developed by Leontief (1936) as an analytical framework

describing the interdependence of the different industrial sectors in the economy. It is also

known as the inter-industry analysis or Leontief model. The model requires the preparation of

an economy-wide table, generally compiled by the statistical agency of the national

government. Each entry in the table corresponds to the sales from a given industrial sector to

another industrial sector.

We use the following table as an illustration' s . It is a highly aggregated representation of

the US National Input-Output Table in 1977. In this simplified form, we identify a 7x7 matrix

corresponding to the monetary transactions between the seven sectors represented in the table.

For example, we observe that in 1977, the sales from the mining to the manufacturing sector

equaled US$77,704x106 and the sales from the manufacturing to the -mining sector equaled

US$7,425x106. Given the level of aggregation, we cannot specify what fraction of mineral

goods purchases corresponded to petroleum or aluminum. Likewise, we do not know what

fraction of manufactured goods purchases occurred in the automobile or in the electronic

industries.

On the right of the Interindustry Transaction matrix, there are two column vectors: the

Final Demands column represents the demands from external sectors such as government,

consumers and export. For example, we notice that, in 1977, the total services provided to (or

demanded by) consumers, government and export added to US$ 648,710x10 6. The Total

Outputs column contains the sum of all elements in each row. For example, the total output

from the agriculture sector, including sales to all other sectors, consumers, government and

export totaled US $129,663 x106.

The input-output model has been extensively used to evaluate the impact of structural

changes in industrial practices (for example, increased consumption of a given commodity due

to government incentives) and the externalities generated from chronic malfunctions in the

economy (for example, the effect of energy shortages, or repeated strikes). Others have

evaluated the dynamic changes in a given economy using the input-output tables of successive

years. In what follows, we show the basic mathematics used in this type of evaluation.

2.1 Using input-output tables

Consider an input-output table as just described. Let Z be the nxn matrix of interindustry

transactions, Y the column vector of final demands and X the column vector of total outputs.

For any sector i, by construction,

Xi 7-- Za ± Zu + ... + Zin ± Yi

This expression corresponds to the sum of all sales made by sector i in the economy.

Each Zii element in the right-hand side correspond to the interindustry sales from sector i to

sector j. Considering the similar equations for all n sectors in the economy, we construct the

following set of equations:

X1 = Zil + Z12 + ... + Zln + Y1

X2 = Z21 + Z22 + ... + Z2n + Y2

Xi = 41 + 42 + ... ± 411 + Yi

Xi, = Zni + Zn2 ± ... + Z. + Yi,

Consider the jth element of each equation. They make up the jth column in the Z matrix:

4 =

Zii

Z2j

Z..ij

_ .1 _

This column represents the payments made by sector j to each sector in the economy.

(In particular, the element Zii represents the payments within the sector.) Let A i; be the ratio

between each element Zii and the total output of the sector, Xj . That is

Aii = Zii / Xi

Repeating this operation for each element Zii one can obtain a matrix A, represented as

follows:— — _• • •

Al„ Z11 • • •Z1n 1/X, 0 • • • 0 —

A2n Z21 Z2„ 0 1/X2 0. . - .• •• . . .

A=Z21 /XIZ22 /X2 Z2„/ X„

• • •

_Zni l Xi Zn2 /X2 •-• Z„„/X„_

Matrix A is called the matrix of technical coefficients. One fundamental assumption in

the input-output model is that the production function of all industries is linear. That is, if the

total output of a given sector is increased by a certain amount, its consumption from (or

payments to) all other sectors is increased in the same proportion'. This implies that the

technical coefficients is the fixed set of parameters under which the economy operates. It is an

assumption of the model that the technical coefficients do not change unless there is some

change in the technology employed in one or more of the sectors6.

We notice that each element Ai; in matrix A corresponds to the necessary input from

sector i into sector j for one monetary unit of total output from sector j. For example, in the

case of the US National Input Output Table in 1977, the technical coefficients are given in the

following matrix, obtained according to the matrix operation just described:

5 The linearity in the input-output model is in great contrast with the Cobb-Douglas productionfunction, as discussed by Burress (1994).6 In practice technological changes do occur in most sectors every period. One should expect to finddifferent matrices of technical coefficients each year, reflecting these changes.

Looking at the third column, one could say that each $1 of output from the Construction

sector requires approximately 37 cents from the Manufacturing sector and 11 cents from the

Trade & Transportation sector, among other inputs.

Since the technical coefficients are the parameters that represent the structure of the

economy, we may want to rewrite the total output expression in terms of the elements of A:

X1 = AJAX' + Al2X2 + ... + AinXn + Y1

X2 = A21X1 + A22X2 + ... + AliXn + Y2

Xi = AilX1 + Ai2X2 + ... + AinX, + Yi

Xn = Aid(' + An2X2 + • . • + AnnXn + Y.

Rearranging the terms, we obtain the expressions of the final demand Y in terms of the

total output X and the technical coefficient matrix A:

(1 - A11)X1 - Al2X2 - ... - AliXi - ... - AinXn = Y1

- A21X1 + (1 - A22)X2 - ... - A2iXi - - A2nXti = Y2

- AiiXi - Ai2X2 - ... + (1 - Aii)Xi - • .. - AiriXn = Yi

- AnIXI - An2X2 - ... - AniXi - +(1 - Ann)Xn = Yn

Rewriting these expression in matrix algebra notation, this becomes simply

(I - A) X= Y

In general, the matrix (I - A) is nonsingular, that is, its determinant is not zero. Hence,

to evaluate the total outputs in the economy X for a given final demand Y, assuming a stable

technology (that is, a constant matrix of technical coefficients A), it suffices to solve the

system of equations by inverting (I - A):

x = (I - A)-' Y

Returning to the example of the US National Input Output Table in 1977, the matrix of

total requirements, (I - Ay' equals:

That matrix says, for example, that in order to satisfy $1 of final demand of its products,

the Agriculture sector produces goods worth $1.36 (hence, 36 cents are consumed in inter-

industry transactions), the mining sector contributes with 1.7 cents of output and the

manufacturing sector contributes with an output worth 11 cents, among others. Until recently,

the main practical difficulty dealing with input-output tables was to produce this matrix, given

the complexity of performing large matrix operations. One simple way to overcome this

problem is to use the expansion

g - Ay' = 1+ A + A2 + ...

Nowadays, typical spreadsheet programs can invert matrices of up to 50 dimensions very

quickly. A specialized FORTRAN code might invert much larger matrices using minimal

resources. In this paper, we limit the size of the problem using a 43-sector aggregation of the

economy.

The remaining difficulty using input-output tables is to adapt the tables generally made

available by official sources into one that contains the sectors that we want to analyze. This

adaptation requires two sets of operations: sector aggregation and sector disaggregation,

which are now discussed.

7 Often, the matrix (I - A) is called the Leontief matrix (L), and its inverse is called the Leontief inversematrix (e).

The augmented matrix is one of the many (n+1)x(n+1) matrices satisfying the set of

equations above. It is defined as the one matrix where sectors n and n+1 require the same

inputs, controlling market shares of p and q, respectively. Hence, it can be fully specified by

the following operation:

H =

The auxiliary matrices pre- and post-multiplying matrix A are the same appearing in Eq.

(1), operating in the opposite order. The operation can be easily generalized to more complex

cases.

The augmented matrix assumes that sectors n and n+1 are essentially the same. The

disaggregated matrix, however, must reflect the different inputs and outputs of these sectors.

This differentiation is obtained with the distinguishing matrix. Once we perform all the matrix

operations in (1) and (2), we can identify the parameters that characterize the distinguishing

matrix D. Let i < n and j < n designate any of the (n-1)x(n-1) elements in matrix A that is

identical to the corresponding elements in the larger matrix B. Since, D = B - H, we obtain

By = Hu = Ay

Dv =0,V i <n, j <n (3)

Now, the nth and the (n+l)th rows in the H matrix assume that the market share across

all columns is the same. This assumption must be relaxed with the corresponding rows in the

D matrix.

{Bni + B „Li = An'

pAni = Hnj

qAni = Hn+lj

Dni = —Dn+ij (4)

Also, the nth and the (n+l)th columns in H are identical, assuming that both sectors use

the same technology. The corresponding column in matrix D relaxes this assumption.

pBin + q13, ,„+1 = AinHin = Hi,n+1 = Ain

Din = q(Bin–A.,1)

Dim+1 = 1#1,n+1 — Bi,n;(5)

Finally, the four elements in the lower-right corner of H incorporate both assumptions

mentioned above. The corresponding elements in D relaxes them as follows.

{

p(13„„+B+1,„)+q(13„,„+1 + Bn+i,„, i ) = Ann

Hnn = Hn,n+1 = Min

Hn+1,n = Hn+1,n+1 =nn

D„„+ D„+1,„ = q(Bnn — Bn,n+i ) + q(Bn+i,n — Bn+1,n+1)

Dn,n+1 +Dn+1,n = "Om Dn+1,n+1)

Notice that, since each 111„ = H1, ,,+ 1 , than each Bin - B,,,,+1 = Din - An+1. Hence, the

distinguishing matrix D is completely defined with n - 1 parameters to differentiate the last two

rows, n - 1 parameters to differentiate the last two columns, and 3 parameters to differentiate

the four elements in the lower right corner.

The row-differentiating parameters, call them si, indicate how much sector j departs from

the average in its demand from sector n. They satisfy Eq. (4). The column-differentiating

parameters, call them d1, reflect the difference between sectors n and n + 1 in their demand for

inputs from sector i. They satisfy Eq. (5). The last three parameters, s„, d,,, and e satisfy Eq.

(6). They serve the functions of row- and column-differentiating- parameters with one

additional degree of freedom given by e, allowing full differentiation between the sectors.

Hence, the distinguishing matrix becomes:

The development of the distinguishing matrix, due to Wolsky, allows for the

disaggregation of two sectors previously aggregated in the input output tables.9 We use this

methodology as a first-step to introduce the remanufacturing dual of the original

manufacturing industries in the input-output matrix, as follows.

3. Comparing remanufacturing and manufacturing activities.

Remanufacturing is the process where a used durable good is disassembled at the module or at

the component level, to repair or substitute components and modules that are worn out or

obsolete. In addition, the whole equipment is refurbished and critical modules are overhauled

or substituted. A machine of today is built on yesterday's base, receiving all the enhancements,

expected life and warranty of a new machine. One interesting advantage that often occurs with

remanufactured goods is that most bugs that eventually existed in the original design are

eliminated. On the other hand, it is clear that components subjected to stress will have

accumulated some fatigue – microscopic fractures that gradually compromise the performance

of the component. However, the reduction in the expected life of non-critical components

often does not affect the expected life of the whole. It is the slack in expected life of valuable

components that makes remanufacturing technically and economically viable.

For most products, the remanufacturing process has many similarities with the original

manufacturing process. It also has some important differences. For the purpose of this study,

we are interested in the difference between the inputs and the outputs of corresponding

industries. For example, what is the difference between the inputs of tire manufacturing plants

and tire retreading plants? How do their outputs differ? The answer to this type of question is

in the distinguishing matrix, specific for the input-output analysis when a new sector is

introduced. The requirements in the Wolsky distinguishing matrix change significantly in our

problem. While Wolsky developed a method for disaggregating two industries operating

independently in the same sector, we would like to adapt it to analyze the introduction of the

remanufacturing dual of an existing manufacturing industry, absorbing part of the market for

all-new products. The distinguishing matrix that accounts for the differences between the all-

new sector and its remanufacturing dual does not have to satisfy Eq. (5) because the two

industries do not use the same technology. Hence, the distinguishing matrix to incorporate the

remanufacturing industry simplifies considerably, taking the form:

0 0 •• • 0 di

0 0 0 d2

D=s1 S2 sn

—s1 –s2 • • • –s,

Notice that, as in the Wolsky distinguishing matrix, this one is fully defined by 2n+1

parameters. In order to maintain the general equilibrium aspect of the original model we make

the following assumptions:

1. We assume that the final demand for the product (in physical units) is not changed and

that the remanufactured product is sold at a price lower than the all-new. Consequently,

the monetary demand is reduced accordingly. Let Y. be the final demand from the

original sector, in monetary units, before the introduction of remanufacturing. Also, let 5

< 1 be the ratio between the unit price of the remanufactured and the all-new product.

The new demand from the original manufacturing sector becomes p*Yn and the demand

9 Wolsky (1984) also provided useful bounds for the parameters in the distinguishing matrix. Given the

from the remanufacturing sector becomes q*Y n. Since q = 5*(1-p), it follows that p + q

< 1.

2. The final demand from all other sectors in the industry is unchanged. The changes in

their total outputs come from the new inter-industry flows.

3. For each monetary unit of outputs from the remanufacturing sector, there is the same

total amount of inputs as in the all-new sector. This assumption implies that both sectors

operate with the same profit margin. Eq. (9) translates this assumption:

n+1

E di = —d labor

(9)i=1

where dia is the difference between the inputs that each sector receive from the labor

sector. The rationale of this assumption is that the original manufacturing and the

Remanufacturing sector are competing in the same market operated by different firms.

Hence, in order to coexist in a general equilibrium model, one should expect that both of

them are equally profitable.

4. Given the complexity in establishing appropriate reverse logistics, the transportation

services sector represents a larger fraction of the inputs to the remanufacturing sector

than the fraction of inputs to the original manufacturing sector.

5. Remanufactured products have as good a performance as all-new products. Hence, if

they cost less, "utilitarian" sectors would choose to buy from the remanufactured sector

rather than the original manufacturing sector, as long as they are available (e.g., tires

purchased from the agricultural sector would come from the tire retreading industry,

rather than from the new tires industry). On the other hand, if the good is a direct input

of an all-new product (e.g., tires as a production input in automobile manufacturing), or

if it is critical for its performance, that sector will only buy the all-new version. This is

obtained from the sj parameters. They represent the deviations from the mean demand

for that output made by each sector. It is simple to verify that these parameters are

bound by the relations:

maxt— pAni ,-1 + gilni } 5 s i � mintgAni ,1— pAni ) (10)

Eq. (10) ensures that all elements in the new technical coefficients matrix are non-

negative. If sj equals its lower bound, sector j has no inputs from the all-new sector. Likewise,

if sj equals its upper bound, the sector has no inputs from the remanufacturing sector. The

main difference between the matrices Dw and D is that, in our distinguishing matrix, even the

column corresponding to original manufacturing sector has n-1 elements equal to zero. Hence,

nature of our problem, they are not needed here.

all changes in the economy are due to the transfer of part of the demand from the original

manufacturing sector to the remanufacturing sector. The impact of this transfer is driven by

the lower final cost, lower direct input from the raw material and energy sectors, and higher

direct demand from the labor sector, characteristics of the remanufacturing operation. The

following table reflects the proposed structural changes in the technical coefficient matrix, as

well as in the row corresponding to the labor sector and in the column corresponding to the

final demand.

We observe the effect of these changes using the input-output tables for the French

economy in 1991 (INSEE 1995). The original table, containing 99 sectors, was aggregated

into 43 sectors. The aggregation criterion was such that any distortion in the analysis would be

minimal. The aggregated sectors had, generally, very low inputs into the manufacturing

sectors. Moreover, the aggregation allows illustrating the model using a spreadsheet software.

The 43 sectors are disclosed in Appendix 1.

We consider the creation of three remanufacturing industries: one for tires, other for

computers and another for automobiles. We start with the assumption that in the present

economy, there is no product recovery of any of these products. Although some recovery

already exists in all three industries, they are not discriminated in the national accounts,

reflecting the small economic significance of each of them. So we believe that the distortion

Page 15: THE IMPACT OF REMANUFACTURING G.flora.insead.edu/fichiersti_wp/inseadwp1997/97-52.pdf · usual inputs such as raw materials and semi-finished goods for labor and transport services

imposed by this assumption is acceptable. For the sake of simplicity, we assume that the

market absorbs all of the output from the remanufacturing industries. Producers of recycled

paper knows that this is not always true. The stochastic aspect of input availability and

demand for outputs have a significant influence over the economics of any product recovery

activity. However, since our interest is in understanding the impact of successful

remanufacturing sectors in the economy, we believe that we can obtain significant insights if

we concentrate in the basic model, without uncertainty.

4. The impact of remanufacturing tires, computers and automobiles in theFrench economy

In what follows we disaggregate the 43x43 input-output table of the French economy to

examine the impact of remanufacturing tires, computers and automobiles. The individual

impacts are driven by the parameters defining the respective distinguishing matrix. Hence, we

examine a number of scenarios, corresponding to different levels of market share, and different

levels of price discount offered by the remanufactured products. In all scenarios, the four

assumptions described in the previous section are strictly observed. The following table

describes these scenarios:

Remanufacturing Sector Parameters

Symbols Levels

Market share secured by the original manufacturing sector. P

0.4 and 0.6

(previous market share = 1)

Relative price of the remanufactured good. 5 0.5 and 0.7

(price of all-new good = 1)

Labor input in Remanufacturing sector. X. 1.2 and 1.5

(Labor sector input in original manufacturing = 1)

The meaning of these parameters follow. If the market share secured by the all new-

product since the introduction of remanufacturing is p, then the final demand for the products

from the original manufacturing sector will be multiplied by p. Moreover, in the augmented

matrix, the row corresponding to the inputs from original manufacturing to all other sectors

have all elements multiplied by the same factor p. (The actual technical coefficients are

adjusted by the parameters s; in the distinguishing matrix, as described in the previous section.)

Since the market share of the remanufactured good is 1-p (as a fraction of the physical

market), but each product is sold at the discount price 8 < 1, than the actual sales from the

remanufacturing sector equal to 8*(1-p) times the original sales by the original manufacturing

sector. Therefore, in the augmented matrix, the row corresponding to the inputs from the

remanufacturing sector is obtained by multiplying each element of the original row by 8*(1-p).

Remanufacturing Impact -14

Page 16: THE IMPACT OF REMANUFACTURING G.flora.insead.edu/fichiersti_wp/inseadwp1997/97-52.pdf · usual inputs such as raw materials and semi-finished goods for labor and transport services

Although the physical number of goods sold is maintained, the monetary value of the sales

secured by the two sectors combined is less than the original sales level.

The relationship between remanufacturing and labor-intensity is complex. We cannot

explore it in the depth it deserves in the present paper. However, some insight into the

problem may be gained from the basic scale relationship for manufacturing cost, viz.

Ct = Cf CvN

where Ct is total cost, Cf is fixed cost and Cv is variable cost per unit, while N is the

number of units. For a single unit, the total cost is the same as the fixed cost, whereas for a

long run in mass production, the unit cost falls toward the variable cost. In a typical mass

production case (such as automobile engines) the fixed cost of a plant, including design and

engineering, would be about $1 billion, and the plant would produce about 10 million units

over its lifetime, for a fixed cost of $100 per unit and a variable cost of perhaps $2000 per unit.

It follows that the first unit costs about 500,000 times as much as the 10 millionth unit. On the

other hand, when design and engineering are excluded, the cost differential is much lower: the

cost of making all the parts of a unique prototype engine in a batch-type machine shop is

estimated to be around 200 times the variable cost of a mass produced version.

Taking the latter relationship as typical, we have an approximate relationship for unit

cost vs. batch size as follows:

unit cost = 1 + 200/N

The key point here is that it is roughly ten times more expensive to manufacture (or

repair) a single unit than a batch of 10; and increasing the batch size to 1000 cuts unit costs

again by another factor of twenty. Beyond that point, the advantages of increasing batch size

are negligible. However, another implication of the above analysis is that the cost

disadvantages of remanufacturing are much lower in the case of products that were originally

customized.

Obviously remanufacturing is inherently much less able to capture large scale advantages

of standardized mass production than primary manufacturing. A remanufacturing operation

necessarily deals with a number of different models and ages, each of which involves different

set-ups and tools. The heterogeneous input stream must clearly be sorted into batches before

further operations are undertaken, and since very small batches are uneconomic, a significant

amount of storage space may be needed as batches accumulate to critical size. On the other

hand, as remanufacturing becomes more the rule than the exception, production runs will

increase. Developments in computer-integrated manufacturing and programmable automation

have reduced the disadvantage of small batches, and this trend can be expected to continue

[Ayres et al 1990]. Also, as customers become more sophisticated, and mass-customization

Remanufacturing Impact - 15

Page 17: THE IMPACT OF REMANUFACTURING G.flora.insead.edu/fichiersti_wp/inseadwp1997/97-52.pdf · usual inputs such as raw materials and semi-finished goods for labor and transport services

becomes the order of the day (and the added cost of customization decreases), the less is the

cost differential between new and remanufactured products. Finally, successive models can be

designed to minimize differences in disassembly, setup and processing costs. Thus, the scale-

related penalties of remanufacturing is expected to reduce in the course of time.

Most of these added costs (of processing small batches) are labor costs. Thus, as

remanufacturing increases, direct employment increases. Clearly, these added costs impose a

limit on the economic feasibility of remanufacturing. Although environmental benefits may be

significant (see below), the primary concern for a firm must be its own cost structure. It can

justify remanufacturing only if other cost reductions compensate for the higher labor

requirements in the remanufacturing operation.

All things considered, we have limited our analysis to two hypothetical cases: (a) where

labor costs increases by 20% (X = 1.2) and (b) where labor costs increases by 50% (2 = 1.5).

It means that, if the labor increase in the remanufacturing sector is X, than each monetary unit

of output from this sector required labor inputs equivalent to those required by the original

manufacturing sector multiplied by X . Since the inputs from the transport sector are also

increased, and the total inputs from all sectors are the same as in the original manufacturing

sector, there will be a substantial decrease in some of the other inputs. (This trade-off

characterizes the remanufacturing process, where physical inputs such as raw materials or

semi-finished goods are traded against labor time in recovering the used goods.)

One may argue that the suggested price reductions are excessive. A value of 5 = 0.7

implies that the remanufactured good is sold for a 30% discount over the price of the all-new

good. However, the objective here is to identify directions of change, using the original

economy as the benchmark. We do not believe that any of these scenarios is the best

representative of what might happen if remanufacturing is a generalized activity in the

economy. Nonetheless, the combination of the proposed scenarios offer a reasonable coverage

of potential scenarios, under the assumptions stated in the previous section.

4.1 The impact of expanding the tire retreading sector

Tire retreading is a healthy business in many countries. It commands nearly 50% of the

commercial tires replacement business in the US and Europe (Ferrer 1997). However, its

penetration in the passenger car market has reduced steadily. In the input-output tables of the

French economy, this business is pooled in the Tire and Rubber sector (BDS 52). Here, we

disregard the penetration that retreaded tires already have, assume that the data on the tire and

rubber industry refer exclusively to new tires, to measure the likely impact of a first time

introduction of retreaded tires.

Remanufacturing Impact - 16

Page 18: THE IMPACT OF REMANUFACTURING G.flora.insead.edu/fichiersti_wp/inseadwp1997/97-52.pdf · usual inputs such as raw materials and semi-finished goods for labor and transport services

In our 43-sector aggregation, the Tire and Rubber sector accounts for a total output of

55.69x109 FF in 1991. It is the 36 th sector in this economy, measured by its total output, or

the 30th sector, measured by its total inputs from the other sectors in the inter-industry matrix.

The impact of introducing retreaded tires depends on its total output in the economy. For

example, if the sector is split, the original manufacturing sector secures one-half of its original

market, and the remanufactured product is marketed at a price 8 = 0.7, the total output of each

sector would be around 28x10 9 FF and 20x109 FF, that is, the 39th and the 42m sector,

respectively. Hence, we should not expect a large impact.

We have performed the calculations corresponding to the introduction of a Tire

Retreading sector in the economy. We disaggregate the 43-sector matrix to introduce a 44th

sector, Tire Retreading. The augmented matrix is produced according to the method described

in Section 2.2 and the distinguishing matrix takes the form developed in Section 3. The

following table summarizes the impact of these changes. All assumptions described in Section

3 are strictly observed.

The percentage values in this table correspond the changes in the total output of the

individual sectors due to the introduction of the Tire Retreading sector in the economy. The

direct impact is a function of the parameters selected in that particular scenario:

Remanufacturing Impact - 17

Page 19: THE IMPACT OF REMANUFACTURING G.flora.insead.edu/fichiersti_wp/inseadwp1997/97-52.pdf · usual inputs such as raw materials and semi-finished goods for labor and transport services

direct change in Original + Remanufacturing = 1 - 5 * (1-p)

We observe that the impact in the first row (the sum of the sectors being analyzed) is driven by

the direct change. As expected, the impact in the other sectors of the economy is very small.

However, the sectors that observed the largest changes were not necessarily the largest direct

suppliers. Of all 25 sectors with direct inputs in the Tire and Rubber industry, the largest

change occurred in the Iron and Steel (4th direct input), Production of Other Minerals (19th),

Chemical and Pharmaceutical (largest source of inputs), Coal and Coke Production (25 th) and

Electricity, Gas and Water Utilities (5 th) sectors. It is also surprising that, in all scenarios, there

was a general reduction in the total output of most sectors, even in the two sectors favored by

the retreading process: Labor and Transport Services. Before we discuss this further, we

introduce the remanufacturing process in the automobile and in the computer sectors.

4.2 The impact of creating an automobile remanufacturing sector

It is well known that the automobile sector (BDS 311) has a great influence over the general

economy, because it draws large inputs from many sectors. It includes automobiles, truck,

motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles10 . In our 43-sector aggregation of the French economy, 14

of them correspond to sectors manufacturing durable goods. The total output from the

automobile sector is the 8 th of all sectors and the first among durable goods sectors. In fact,

the automobile industry receives inputs from 30 sectors. Hence, remanufacturing automobiles

must have a strong first-order effect in each of these sectors and significant higher-order

effects on most other sectors. For this reason, this analysis is likely to be a good representative

of the impact of remanufacturing in the economy. However, the marketing limitation

precluding such venture are very large, and not in the scope of this study.

This time, we disaggregate the 43-sector input-output matrix to introduce as the 44th

sector the Automobile Remanufacturing industry. The following table shows the changes in

the output of selected sectors, under the assumptions stated in Section 3.

10

This aggregation is the same as in the original 99-sector table.

Given the size of the automobile industry and its large interaction with many other

sectors, the impact is quite significant in several of them. Generally this change takes the form

of output reduction, even in the Labor and the Transport Services sectors. The greater impact

occurs at the direct suppliers of the auto industry, such as in the Foundry and Metalworking

sector (largest supplier), Tire and Rubber sector (third largest), the Iron and Steel sector (4th),

Coal and Coke Production (28 th), Glass Industry (11 th) and Plastic (5 th). Clearly, the indirect

effect plays an important role for some raw materials whose consumption is reduced due to the

remanufacturing process. Again, the total output from all sectors is reduced, in any scenario,

when remanufacturing is introduced.

4.3 The impact of expanding the computer remanufacturing sector

The computer manufacturing sector (BDS 27) includes portable computers, mainframes and

peripherals, as well as some office equipment." In this 43-sector aggregation, it receives

inputs from 24 sectors. Since computer manufacturing is a very international business, most

computers actually consumed in France are manufactured abroad. For this reason, it is just the

28th largest sector in this aggregation, the 7th among the 14 sectors that manufacture durable

goods. However, since the input-output table only refers to the inter-industry transactions

occurring within a region - in this case, France - an eventual remanufacturing industry is likely

to process (or produce) more units than were originally manufactured within the country. We

do not deal with this possibility now.12

We disaggregate the 43-sector table to introduce Computer Remanufacturing as the 44th

sector in the economy. This table shows the changes in the output of the other sectors

assuming that just the domestically produced computers are remanufactured.

Since the sector is relatively small, the impact of establishing a large Computer

Remanufacturing sector in France is not very large. The most affected sectors are among its

11 The photocopy industry is part of the Instrument and Precision Material sector (BDS 34).12 One could deal with this phenomenon with the appropriate reduction of the Import sector in themodel, to account for the substitution of some of the inputs from this source by the remanufactured unitsproduced in the country.

direct suppliers, such as the Electronic Professional Equipment sector (responsible for the 3"1

largest share of inputs to Office and Computer Equipment sector), Plastic (6 th largest), Postal,

Telecommunication and Business Services (1 d), Private Teaching and Research Services (136)

and Glass (21 d) sectors. The raw material sectors do not suffer a significant impact given that

they do not make up a significant share of the value of the original good.

5. Discussion

Even though the impact of introducing a Computer Remanufacturing sector is not very large,

we notice that the changes in output were always negative, just as with the two other

remanufacturing examples. It becomes clear that remanufacturing diminishes the demand not

only from raw materials and energy sectors, but even from its direct beneficiaries and other

seemingly distant sectors. This has some implications:

First, the reduction in raw material demand shows that remanufacturing can reduce

pollution and emissions — if fewer materials enter the system, fewer have to leave.

Second, even the sectors whose direct impact from remanufacturing is positive (Labor

and Transport Services) have total negative impact. That clarifies the debate whether

remanufacturing — a labor intensive activity — fosters the creation of jobs or not. It does not.

From these results, one may hastily conclude that remanufacturing dampens business. It

reduces GNP, by contracting the demand from all inputs in the economy, labor included.

However, many would argue that GNP (or GNP per capita) is not a good proxy for welfare.

Even in this context, where we compare the status of the economy under two scenarios, with

or without remanufacturing, we argue that measuring the changes in the output from all

sectors gives an imperfect view of the impact of the proposed changes.

We propose an alternative measure to evaluate these changes. Recall the first and

second assumptions in our analysis. The Final Demand from all sectors is the same as before

the introduction of remanufacturing. The only exception is the disaggregated section, for

which we maintained the size of the physical demand. In order to maintain the same physid

demand, the monetary demand was adjusted by the price reduction adopted by the

remanufacturing sector. Hence, a better measure of the changes in welfare is to compare the

total inputs from the Labor sector with the sum of values in the Final Demand column, before

and after the introduction of remanufacturing. The following table shows the results13

The table shows that, from a labor point of view, remanufacturing does have positive

effect. The larger the sector where remanufacturing takes place, the greater is the reduction in

Labor Output and in Final Demand. However, the monetary reduction in final demand is

relatively greater, thus increasing the relative value of labor regarding the amount of goods

consumed. This results from the price reduction provided by the remanufacturing sector.

Although the total flow into the payment of salaries is reduced, the same amount of goods is

delivered at a lower price, increasing the relative value of labor. Hence, although

remanufacturing does reduce GNP, it increases the relative labor output.

This research has examined the effect of a potential development of large

remanufacturing sectors in the economy would have in the rest of the economy. Assuming that

the remanufacturing activity has direct negative effective in the energy and raw material

output, as well as a positive effective in the labor and transport services output, it is observed

that a generalized remanufacturing activity would reduce the output from all sectors in the

economy. The greater the sector where remanufacturing occurs, the larger is the reduction in

the output. It appears that the aggregated changes in labor and pollution due to

remanufacturing are favorable. Further research is necessary to identify the qualitative aspects

of these changes. It is important to compare the quality of the labor required, as well as the

quality of the polution and emissions in the remanufacturing scenario and in the original

manufacturing actiuvity.

Appendix 1: Input-output tables (43x43), France 1991 (x 106 FF)

This appendix contains some of the intermediate steps necessary to obtain the results in

Section 4. These tables result from the aggregation undertaken on the 98x98 data provided by

the INSEE, as described in Table 1 and Table 2. The main inter-industry exchange data

appears in Table 3 through Table 8. The new inputs and outputs corresponding to the

introduction of a tire retreading industry appear in Table 9 and Table 10. The new inputs and

outputs corresponding to the introduction of a computer remanufacturing industry are shown

in Table 11 and Table 12. Finally, the new inputs and outputs corresponding to the

development of the automobile remanufacturing industry appear in Table 13 and Table 14.

Additional details can be obtained directly from the authors.
