• Introduction
Recently, human life seems heavily dependent on vehicle which is ubiquitous all over the world and also at a significantly high speed of surging its number. People received a considerable number of benefits from vehicles; however, there are also many accompanying social contradictions have become increasingly prominent, especially when vehicles turn to be scrapped or at the end of their life, such as energy consumption, environmental pollution etc. which greatly impair the social development and people’s lives. In China, these problems seem more severe as a result of its huge population, and researchers intend to find a good way to alleviate the situation. Remanufacturing, which is a vital technique for automotive industries in China, definitely is the good solution to these problems.
Remanufacturing is a new conception for people, who are seemingly much more familiar with recycling rather than remanufacturing. Generally, the former is well known that it is a reuse technique that can use raw materials at least two times, in order to minimize the environment pollution. However, the latter involves with many processes, which comprising of disassembling, cleaning, refurbishing, replacing (if it is necessary) and reassembling (Sutherland et. al, 2008). For example, we can take a vehicle engine, weighing 500kilos, if it is recycled as waste steels, its value is only worth about 1,000yuan (about 151 US dollars), but if the engine is remanufactured, it will be worth no less than 30,000yuan; therefore, remanufacturing is much more valuable than recycling in some aspects.
This essay will first illustrate the difference between manufacturing and remanufacturing, in order to make readers know more about the essence of ...

Increasing environmental awareness, coupled with a responsible American government and improved technology, have all contributed to the comeback of low-and zero-emissions vehicles in the US. It remains to be seen whether the automakers and oil companies will once again work to halt this progress, or embrace it as the technology of a more responsible future.
Regulations for environment wellbeing is a danger to OEMs. So the OEMs ought to accentuate more on creating electronic vehicles or half and half autos. This will lead more fuel proficiency and will likewise pick up govt. support. The customary motors ought to be made more effective. This will add more cost to the OEMs. So there ought to be vital collusion with different OEMs and suppliers. There would be joined push to push half and half autos into business. The OEMs ought to suspect their ability and get arranged for remote regulations for better cost and creation
With the disposal of solid waste from process, manufacturing and its waste pose considerable challenges for many organizations. Since, landfilling has become limited, and with the cost of waste disposal continuing to rise, they needed alternative measures.

This essay, I believe, is an effort to explain the necessary transition from mass production to revolutionary production called Toyota production System. By focusing on the global auto industry, this essay explains in simple, concrete terms what the Toyota Production System is, where it came from , how it really works, and how it can spread to all corners of the globe for everyone's mutual benefit. The global adaptation, as it inevitably spreads beyond the auto industry, will change everything in almost every industry-choices of customers, the nature of work, the fortune of companies, and, ultimately, the fate of nations.
The automobile industry is a pillar of global economy. Globally automotive contributes roughly 3 % of all GDP output. It historically has contributed 3.0 – 3.5 % to the overall GDP in the US. The share is even higher in the emerging markets, with the rates in china and India at 7 % and rising. China produces the highest number of automobiles followed by US and Japan (oica.net, 2015). The industry supports direct employment of 9 million people to build 60 million vehicles and parts that go into them (oica.net, 2015). Many other industries such as steel, iron, glass, aluminium, textiles etc. are associated with the automotive industry and resulting in more than 50 million jobs owed to the auto
...duction. As the output from this industry is sold to other industries, this industry is very dependent on the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industry. The major challenges for the industry is to become more energy efficient to reduce energy consumptions and emissions to air. Recycling is effective way to improve environmental performance and reduce production cost. Modern manufacturing methods and recent technological advancements have led to the improvement in environmental performance of the industry.
Automobile firms like GM Holden, Toyota, and Ford decided to shut down their plants in Australia and shift to another country. The automobile industry ranks among the crucial significant business phenomena of the twentieth century and remains vitally important today. Other words, the world’s automobile industry has played an important economic role (Wynn-Williams, 2009, p. 2). It is now is one of the largest industries in the world, the industry of industries (Drucker, 1972 , p. 176). It can be seen that there exists a fairly wide degree of consensus among car industry commentators over a large number of issues. The industry has found it hard to adjust to recent challenges and is no longer much valued by the capital markets. The slowing down in car sales in the more mature markets such as North America and Western Europe similarly with the much faster growth of sales in the relatively countries of the third world like China, India. Consequently, this assignment firstly overviews Australia’s automobile market-the operations in Australia and then highlight both challenges and opportunities in China, a potential automobile market in order to suggest a way for Holden entering China’s market. The assignment is intended to investigate the competitive advantages of China and how China could attract many foreign automobile companies in short period. The assignment also uses a number of journals, books, reports, and internet sources to deeply understand the Australian automobile context as well as China’s context.
Recycling is such a fantastic way for us to reuse the waste we once throw. Yet, not everything is easy to be done in this world. There many difficulties that face recycling process economically and socially. Usually In order to recycle, waste paper needs to be sorted and treated from any Impurities. Which means that companies will loss finance because there must be someone or something that could sort or treat these papers. Another problem is that to start recycling, companies needs a lot of good recyclable supply to pick it up; after all, they need good economic benefits (Problems with Recycling, 2014). According to the Waste and Resources Action Program, there are some barriers p...
Until recently, Ford Motor Company was in possession of most of the production and distribution of all materials and parts needed to produce cars. Ford Motor Company owned everything from steelworks needed for the frame of the car down to the rubber farms needed for the tires and hoses. Ford Motor Company even retained railways so that supplies and finished cars could be transported to their intended destination (Muthusamy, 2014). However, owning all the supplies in the world would be ineffective if the company was not capable of using its resources in the appropriate manner. For that reason, Ford Motor Company revolutionized the Industrial Era with its concept of the assembly line which would enable it to dominate its industry for a long
There are also several long term benefits of recycling. For example, “collecting and processing secondary materials, manufacturing recy...
China continues to be the largest car market in the world ever since it overtook the U.S. in 2009. In tandem with the explosive sales growth in the auto sector, the country’s local car plates grew by c.150% between 2004 to 2015.
With this new idea both the auto makers and their suppliers have created a centralized body of authority in order to promote this increasing environmental issue to all under the protection of USCAR (United states council for automobile research) and in addition (USAMPILCA) These groups introduced the rule that US mid size vehicles must list the entire components within and materials type and mass must also be identified.
