Abstract

The reuse of equipment when adapted according to the conditions in the area of application, offers an effective solution for meeting the demands of sustainable value creation. The scenario technique is applied to examine reuse and its fields of influence for different levels of development, using several reference countries. The technique is adapted to observe the economical, ecological and social factors of sustainability. At several stages within the scenario technique we apply linear programming based branch-and-cut methods to solve occurring optimization problems and to prove their global optimality property. This paper includes both a sustainability orientation as well as a methodological development using mathematical optimization applied to sub-problems of the scenario technique.
