The research leading to these results has received funding from the commissioned task
entitled “VIA CARPATIA Universities of Technology Network named after the President of the
Republic of Poland Lech Kaczy ´nski”, contract no. MEiN/2022/DPI/2578, and action titled “In the
neighborhood—inter-university research internships and study visits”.
Remanufacturing processes are one of the key pillars of the so-called closed-cycle economy.
Unfortunately, the design and organization of such processes pose a significant problem, due to,
among other things, the high variability of the process as a consequence of both the degree of
wear and tear and the quality of the remanufactured components. This article presents a method
for optimizing the flow of the brake caliper remanufacturing process in the MTO (make-to-order)
model. For the optimization process, the system dynamics (SD) method, which belongs to a group
of simulation methods, was used. The developed model allows, in particular, the prediction of the
number of components at the input to the regeneration process and the method of defining the size
of the transport batch and evaluating its impact on the length of the production cycle of the batch of
regenerated products. The issues of staffing management at individual positions and the organization
of transport operations with variable production batch sizes were also discussed. The provided
experiments have shown that reducing the size of the transport batch contributes to shortening the
production order execution time, both with standard and increased staffing.
