Circular Loop Execution (Reman-as-a-Service)

The Reman-as-a-Service playbook is a Sustainability / Ops Strategy playbook for maximizing product lifecycle value. It applies when opportunities exist to manage the entire product lifecycle, capturing 'Secondary Life' value from used assets. The primary outcome is enhanced sustainability and profitability through a closed-loop system that captures significant asset value.

The tactical shift to a closed-loop system where the firm manages the entire lifecycle of the product to capture 'Secondary Life' value.

Strategic Alpha Sustainability / Ops Strategy 4 Action Steps

Action Steps

  1. 1 Establish Reverse Logistics: Create a 'Buy-Back' program to secure the raw material (old units) before they enter the third-party scrap market.
  2. 2 Deploy 'Condition Monitoring' (DT02): Use IoT to identify which units in the field are the best candidates for refurbishment based on stress-data.
  3. 3 Modularize the Upgrade Path: Create standard 'Refit Kits' that allow old physical frames to be upgraded with modern digital spines (DT01).
  4. 4 Transition to 'Performance-as-a-Service': Stop selling the asset; sell the 'Uptime' or 'Cycles' to ensure the firm maintains ownership of the materials for the next loop.
