Abstract
The uncertainty of reassembly dimensions is directly related to the accuracy and stability of remanufactured products. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to improve the mathematical understanding of the uncertainty of remanufacturing. First, the uncertainty connotation of reassembly dimensions is analyzed by contrasting the ideal parts, the manufactured parts and the remanufactured parts combined with the uncertainty principle. Second, the uncertainty measurement model for reassembly dimensions is constructed, which can realize quantitative measurement by entropy. Then, we study the uncertainty coupling mechanism of reassembly dimensions, and its corollary has to be in conformity with the reality. Finally, the uncertainty of remanufactured heavy-duty engine crankshaft is measured to verify the validity of the model. These conclusions are useful in the development of the uncertain optimization decision for remanufacturing, and it provides theoretical support for lean remanufacturing.
