Design a remanufacturable centrifugal pump via enhancing part standardization.

One of the common problem of remanufacture water pumps is lack of components standardization. Therefore, this paper implemented standard parts to achieve faster accessibility to internal components in the pump as the solution for the lack of standardization. Standard parts are easy to replace and improves the remanufacturability for more sustainable products, changing some custom parts in the pump with standard parts without negatively affecting the efficiency will greatly improve the remanufacturability of the pump. After selecting the standard parts for the water pump design, disassembly time be evaluated to confirm the compatibility of the standard parts used. The new pump is expected to be capable of competing in the marked production and overcome the main remanufacturability concern. The disassembly analysis shows that the proposed pump has faster disassembly and simpler sequence compared to a datum pump. The proposed pump has lesser 19.3% disassembly time than the datum pump. The design method steps of and objective are specified in details and the model will be under continuous improvements to be adjustable for integration of the new standard technologies.
