Abstract: Abstract This research presents a conceptual framework to analyze the remanufacturing strategy. Three configuration strategies are explained and explored, namely Hybrid Manufacturing and Remanufacturing System (HMRS), Manufacturing/Remanufacturing (M/R) and Remanufacturer to the Manufacturer (R2M). Our research focuses on the cost and pricing decisions that affect the manufacturing firm to opt for the best-suited configuration. The competitive advantage is gained by manufacturing firms adopting remanufacturing or hybrid manufacturing and remanufacturing system. This conceptual framework will help manufacturing firms adopt the best-suited configuration and provide a decision-making framework for the variables within control and collaborative factors in remanufacturing.
