Abstract:

Resource depletion and environmental degradation have rendered traditional high-consumption， high-emission production models unsustainable. The manufacturing industry is urgently seeking low-carbon models to address current crises and secure future development. As a crucial component of the circular economy， remanufacturing extends product lifecycles， reduces resource consumption， and minimizes waste emissions， making it an effective approach to addressing resource scarcity and environmental deterioration.Since Lund introduced the concept of remanufacturing in 1983， it has garnered attention from governments， industries， and academia alike. A plethora of literature on the subject exists. Based on this， relevant literatures are reviewed and an analytical framework is proposed for remanufacturing research.From the perspectives of waste product recovery， remanufacturing efficiency and benefits， and market strategies for remanufacturing， 14 thematic terms are identified. It involves searching for these thematic terms in the titles， abstracts， and keywords of articles. During the search， a total of 12 journals are selected as sources of literature， all of which are mainstream journals in the field of operations management， with six from domestic and six from international sources. The time frame is set from 2014 to 2024. After the initial retrieval， the articles are manually screened and duplicates are removed using bibliometric analysis tool Cite space. Ultimately， 561 articles are identified， including 275 Chinese articles and 286 English articles. The visualization in this study focused on keyword analysis， conducting both co-occurrence and cluster analyses of the keywords.Furthermore， content analysis on the development of remanufacturing is conducted from three perspectives： research scope， research subjects， and research focus. Three research trends are identified： from resource efficiency-driven topolicy-driven for waste product recycling， from traditional supply chain management to intelligent supplychain management for remanufacturing closed-loop supply chains， and from market competition and cooperationstrategies to supply chain coordination optimization for remanufacturing market.At last， in terms of the shortcomings of existing research， future directions for remanufacturing are proposed. These include： shifting from a supply chain perspective to a consumer-oriented approach， balancing remanufacturing intelligence with supply chain resilience， andachieving multi-objective coordination of economic， environmental， social， andcultural goals. It aims to help researchers understand the current state and challenges of remanufacturing research， providing a reference for future studies.

Key words: remanufacturing, intelligent technology, remanufacturing practice, multi-objective coordination
