Supplementary data: Exploring Remanufacturing Conveniency: An Economic and Energetic Assessment for a Closed-Loop Supply Chain of a Mechanical Component

The conveniency between remanufacturing a single mechanical product and its new production is a highly investigated topic across various disciplines, including supply chain management. To this end, a comparison was made among three different configurations of the supply chain network: the traditional network for new production, the network with remanufacturing and direct interaction between customer and manufacturer, and the network with remanufacturing and indirect interaction between customer and manufacturer through a distribution center. The evaluation of scenarios for the remanufacturing conveniency of remanufacturing was conducted from both an economic and energetic perspective, generating 10'000 cases using the Sobol quasi-random low-discrepancy sequence. The generation was carried out for both economic and energetic analyses for three types of materials, namely steel, aluminum, and titanium, for which complete datasets are provided:
