REMADE Academy Webinar: Showcasing CART — A Decision-support Tool For All Reman Designers
Join us for an in-depth look at CART - the Cost Analysis for Reman Tool. This webinar will walk through a representative design for remanufacturing scenario to illustrate how CART can aid in data-driven decision-making process. The session will feature both a methodology-focused presentation and a live demonstration of the tool.
Our primary objectives are to:
- Build trust in the analytical accuracy of the tool.
- Highlight the tool's user-friendly and dynamic interface.
Next, industry-based case studies will be shared to validate CART's applicability in remanufacturing contexts. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of current limitations and future directions for CART development. We aim to spend 30 minutes on the presentation and 15 minutes for a Q&A style discussion.
