Abstract
With the growing importance to prevent global warming, remanufacturing at machine shop becomes a burning engineering problem. In fact, manufacturing itself has not so serious influences on the environment; however, it is recommendable to salvage a waste produced while machining. Thus, the objectives are the technology development for reusing the swarf, lubricant, and cooling media. In this context, we need to integrate knowledge about machining and also those in different spheres, e.g. chemistry, material science and hydraulic engineering. It is worth suggesting that remanufacturing in the motorcar becomes recently one of the lucrative businesses, and also it is very interesting that without recycling the swarf itself can often facilitate the reinforcing media of the concrete in the construction industry.

Notes
- 1.
Although the essential feature of the remanufacturing technology has been changed to a various extent, the term itself was already suggested at the end of the 1980s [1].

FSV suppliers must have the “Build-to-Order” manufacturing capabilities, so that they can produce a car as a whole. For example, the Magna-Steyr in Graz, Austria has produced the “Saab 9-3 convertible”, “Mercedes-Benz G and E classes 4matic, BMV X3”, “Jeep Grand Cherokee” and “Chrysler Voyager & 300C” [2].

Remanufacturing has been prevailed within the motorcar, copiers, medical equipment, compressors, single-use cameras and cellular phones. Of these, remanufacturing of motorcar and construction machine is protruded. For example, Caterpillar’s Remanufacturing Services Plant in Shrewsbury, England, has refurbished the V-12 Rolls-Royce diesel engine, which is for British military fighting vehicle and 15 years old, by in part integrating the reused parts in assembly. After refurbishing, the product can service another 4–5 years [3].
