This document proposes a new business model for US automakers to focus on remanufacturing light vehicles. It argues that remanufacturing could increase profit margins for automakers from 4-6% to 8-12% by offering fleet operators remanufactured vehicles and components at a lower total ownership cost, while also reducing environmental impact and circumventing stricter fuel efficiency standards. The document outlines the key elements of this proposed remanufacturing business model, including targeting fleet operators as customers and minimizing their total ownership costs through remanufactured acquisitions.

Remanufactured Products: A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
1. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
Doc. 2012-01-0353 Published 04/16/2012
The light-vehicle (automobiles and Class 1-3 trucks) US-based OEMs, and their
suppliers, are currently in a state of malaise due to:
Massive financial loses for their investors.
Dislocations of hourly and professional workers due to downsizing.
Accelerated governmental intrusions into future product design due to
aggressive energy efficiency standards.
Market share loses to foreign-based OEMs.
Shrinking market size.
Perceived irrelevancy by the financial investment community.
As a result of the above elements, the combined market value of GM, Ford and
Chrysler (the estimated value that is part of Fiat) is less than that of combined value of
Deere, PACCAR and Caterpillar, which have only 25% of the annual sales volume of the
“Big-3.” GM, nor Ford, which for decades were ranked within the top 25 largest US-
based corporations, measured by market capitalization (stock price times number of
outstanding common shares), do not currently even rank within the top 100
corporations.
But there is hope, if the Big-3 OEMs, working with their suppliers, create a new
business model that will deliver a different value proposition to a selective segment of
the light-vehicle market. This paper will recommend that the Big-3 carve-out a new
business unit that focuses upon the delivery of light-vehicles which are classified as
“remanufactured”.
The remanufacturing process, as applied to this paper, assures that a not-new product
has “like-new” condition characteristics of reliability levels, energy efficiencies,
operational capabilities, maintainability, safety and others. Note that the US military has

2. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
operated vehicle remanufacturing programs for decades for many of their weapon
system platforms.
This new remanufacturing business model is foreseen to:
Materially increase the profit margin of the light vehicle fleet market segment
Remanufactured products typically have profit margins that are 50-100% higher
than new products. This data is obtained from the author’s management
consulting engagements of durable goods OEMs remanufacturing operations (i.e.
United Technologies, Oshkosh, Textron, BAE, General Dynamics, Navistar,
Timken and others) over a 20 year span. Note there is less than half a dozen
known publically-held “pure play” remanufacturers in which financial records are
available to the public (i.e. LKQ and Remy International). The 4-6% Profit Before
Taxes [PBT], as a percentage of revenues, currently experienced by the Big-3
would be transformed into a PBT of 8-12% for their fleet sales, which is aligned
with that of the average “healthy” U.S.-based durable goods manufacturer (i.e.
Eaton, Parker-Hannifin, Navistar and Dresser-Rand) . Note that the PBT of the
Big-3 is currently difficult to truly ascertain due to the massive write-offs they
incurred during their recent corporate restructuring; many of their liabilities that
would presently be negatively impacting their bottom line, as well as into the
foreseeable future, have been eliminated.
Decrease the market share of imported designed-for-manufacturing components
employed in the vehicle production process
Currently many foreign suppliers have penetrated the US market by designing
their parts for manufacturing efficiency. There is little consideration by these
suppliers for ease of repair/remanufacturing; it’s all about providing the lowest
purchase price. With a new business model focused on remanufactured vehicles,
parts designed-for-repair/remanufacturing would become of greater value to the
owner of the vehicle because they could be employed in the remanufacturing
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 2
3. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
process, versus the designed-for-manufacturing foreign part that would have to
be discarded. Also it is this author’s belief that imported aftermarket parts would
also be decreased as a result of this initiative.
Reduce the manufacturing impact of light-vehicles upon industrial energy
consumption and waste generation
The new-condition manufacturing process has large amounts of materials and
energy inputs, while that of the remanufacturing process has large amounts of
labor employed in disassembly and reassembly activities. A 1996 study by Boston
University professors estimated that a remanufactured item employs only 15-
20% of the energy required to produce a like-kind new condition product.
Mitigate the loss of control of the design of a vehicle to the Federal Government
A robust remanufacturing process would enable the Big-3 to partially circumvent
the EPA requirements that new-condition light vehicles meet the average fuel
economies of 54.5 average mpg by 2025. Extending the life of a model by
employing a remanufacturing process will decrease the overall new light vehicle
production rate, which in turn would reduce the amount of vehicles subjected to
the new EPA fuel economy standards. It is the author’s belief that the
remanufacturing initiative would also save lives due to the retention of a
“robustly” designed vehicle; heavier vehicles are presumed to be “safer” than the
lighter vehicles required to meet future fuel economy standards.
Other areas of favorable impact
o Intellectual Property [IP] issues would be minimized regarding aftermarket
parts.
o Dealer networks would retain a closer relationship with their fleet
operators.
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 3
4. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
o Product Support End Of Life [EOL] challenges for components with rapidly
changing technologies would be mitigated by keeping their supply chains
“hot”
o Financial markets would change their “image” of the Big-3 to that of an
innovative solution provider; this would open the door for greater financial
investment over the long-term.
This article will provide an overview of the following nine elements of this new business
model:
1. Who is the customer?
2. What is the value proposition for the customer?
3. What are the channels employed to deliver the value proposition to the
customer?
4. How are customer relationships established and maintained with the customer?
5. What are the revenue streams?
6. What are the key processes that deliver a value proposition?
7. What key resources are required to be employed in the processes?
8. What are the key sources-of-resources employed in the process?
9. What is the cost structure?
How the above 9 elements are established and managed will drive the profitability of
the new business model.
1. Who is the customer?
The target market for this new business model is light-vehicle fleet operators. Currently
this segment acquires an estimated 10-15% of all newly manufactured light-vehicles
(Figure 1) or an estimated 1-2 million vehicles per year.
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 4
5. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
The fleet operators are hourly rental subscription service providers (i.e. Zip cars), daily-
rental enterprises (i.e. Enterprise), utilities (i.e. Verizon), governmental agencies (i.e.
GSA), leasing operators (i.e. Penske), multi-location corporations (i.e. GEICO) and
others. The Big-3 often sell directly to the larger operators, but their dealer networks
sell directly to the smaller fleet operators. One point in common for all fleet operators is
that the value of their acquisition is reflected upon a balance sheet, with a depreciation
schedule.
2. What is the value proposition for the customer?
The objective of a fleet operator is to minimize Total Ownership Cost [TOC], which is
driven by the [(acquisition cost minus residual value) + (operating costs) + (product
support costs)]. It is estimated that a remanufactured light-vehicle could decrease TOC
by a weighted 10% to 15% by reducing the [acquisition minus residual] value by 20%
to 30%; operating and maintenance costs would be marginally impacted.
The two processes that create remanufactured vehicles would be the following:
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 5
6. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
Previously employed vehicles by a fleet operator would be inducted into a
production line and would be returned in a remanufactured condition. The
product retains its original identity/serial number. Note this model was employed
by the Checker Cab Mfg. Co. for over 40 years.
Vehicles in a new product manufacturing assembly line would employ
remanufactured components comingled with new components. The product has
a new identity/serial number.
The fleet operators would also be provided with a warranty that is the same as a new-
condition vehicle.
Fleet owners, who provide short-term rentals or operating leases to the end-users,
would be best positioned to obtain the highest value from this new business model;
they are accustomed to aggressively managing TOC. This is especially true of daily
rental fleets where the primary profit driver is managing the residual value of vehicles;
rental income is primarily a means for them to cover their depreciation costs.
Note that fleet operators could tout the fact that their remanufactured vehicles are
“green”; this can often create a positive image for their organizations.
3. What are the channels employed to deliver the value proposition to the
customer?
A new dealer network for fleet operators would be established, both large and small,
under a marquee such as “OEM-Reman”. OEM dealers would be invited to join, but
participation would be limited. The driver for this exclusivity would be the importance of
focusing on the management of the forward and reverse supply chain of the
remanufactured vehicle; too many dealer participants will increase the complexity of
this effort. For example, Caterpillar has been very successful in segmenting their
markets for remanufactured products.
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 6
7. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
4. How are relationships established and maintained with the customer?
Rather than employing the mass consumer marketing approach so common with the
Big-3, a highly focused program would be established, geared to the Business-to-
Business [B2B] environment of a fleet operator. Reduced TOC will be the primary value
proposed to the customer, but other value propositions could also be delivered. For
example, a sophisticated internet portal interface for the delivery of a series of
enhanced fleet monitoring tools could be exclusively provided to the remanufactured
vehicle fleet operators.
5. What are the revenue streams?
The new business model revenue would begin slowly and require a 10 to 12 year time
frame to be fully implemented (Figure 2). Driving the timeframe would be setting-up
the dealer net work, re-engineering production lines, delivering a compelling story to
the fleet operators and obtaining “cores” (components inducted into the
remanufacturing process) to drive the component remanufacturing process. Below is a
graph of the revenue interrelationships between new product deliveries and
remanufactured product deliveries.
6. What are the key processes that deliver a value proposition?
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 7
8. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
There are three critical processes required for this business model:
The process of sourcing “cores”
This source of cores can be obtained from the following:
o Permanently impaired vehicles.
o Warranty component pools.
o Like-Kind Exchange [LKE] component pools.
o Surplus assets.
The remanufacturing process
The efficiency and effectiveness of the process is driven by the following:
o What tasks are to be performed that provide the value expected by the
customer.
o What is the configuration of the remanufactured product delivered that
will provide a “like-new” product.
o What design-for-remanufacturing elements have been incorporated into
the item for optimizing the cost of material recovery and labor,
Managerial cost accounting
This process is multiple folds more complex than the managerial accounting
required for new product manufacturing. This is caused by:
o Multiple conditions of the same part number employed in the
remanufacturing process, each with their own cost: new, used, repaired
and remanufactured.
o Multiple configurations of the same part number, each with their own cost
o Multiple transactions for a part number, each with their own cost: sale,
exchange, loaner and renew-and-return.
o Multiple ownership of the same part number throughout the
Remanufacturing Enterprise requiring a robust management of the
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 8
9. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
accuracy of the balance sheet: end-user owned, lessor-owned, OEM
owned, dealer-owned and OEM-supplier owned.
7. What key resources are required to be employed in the processes?
The following are three key resources to be employed in order to be successful in
managing the remanufacturing process:
Forward and Reverse Supply Chain Management [SCM] professionals
These individuals are very hard to find. Few professionals have been formally
trained in Forward SCM and virtually none have formal training in Reverse SCM.
Highly honed planning and acquisition skills are absolutely critical to assure the
management of the business model.
Process engineers
There is no professional degree such as “Remanufacturing Engineer.” The skill
sets required to creatively design the tasks for employing a remanufacturing
process are only obtained through “real world” experience. Again, there are few
individuals who have obtained the experience to truly optimize the efficiency and
effectiveness of the remanufacturing process. The author has found it more
advantageous to employ a non-degreed individual with remanufacturing
experience, than an inexperienced degreed individual.
IT infrastructure
As a result of the complexity of the operational transactional activity, coupled
with the managerial cost accounting postings, a large scale Remanufacturing
Enterprise could not function without a robust IT infrastructure, with a specific
emphasis on application/backroom software. Again, because remanufacturing is
a nascent discipline, little Commercial-Off-The-Shelf [COTS] application software
is available from suppliers.
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 9
10. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
8. What are the key sources-of-resources employed in the process?
Because the remanufacturing business model is so different than the current build-new-
and-sell business model, OEMs should create a Remanufacturing Enterprise which
employs many sources-of-resources other than their internal capabilities. The key
sources-of-resources would be:
The organization that disassembles and reassembles vehicles; this could be done
by a low volume production organization, such as Magna International.
The organization that remanufactures repairable components; this could be
performed by the largest vehicle dealers or OEM-suppliers who currently perform
remanufacturing processes such as Caterpillar’s remanufacturing division.
The physical movement of cores; this could be performed by UPS or FedEx.
The alternatives are many, but a detailed Business Case Analysis [BCA] for selecting the
sources-of-resources employed in the business model must be developed.
9. What is the cost structure?
The cost structure is focused upon maximizing the retention of the value-added content
of materials employed in the remanufacturing process and minimizing the direct labor
content employed in the process. Direct labor costs will be reasonably predictable, but
the cost structure of materials will be a highly variable one; prices of cores and the
residual values of vehicles could vary dramatically from year to year due to multiple
supply and demand issues. As a result of this volatility, a robust accrual accounting
system will be required to “smooth” the impact of fluctuating material costs upon the
income statement and balance sheet. Revenue recognition issues will be extremely
important in the construct of financial statements.
In conclusion, the business model described above is a framework that could be
employed to evolve a light-vehicle OEM into a limited provider of remanufactured
Ron Giuntini, Giuntini & Company, Inc. Page 10
11. Remanufactured Products:
A New Business Model For Light-Vehicle OEMs
vehicles. The time has come for the Big-3 to think out-of-the-box regarding how they
do business. The transition will not be easy, but the anticipated rewards of delivering
remanufactured products will be one piece of the puzzle that will be employed to
reinvigorate the domestic auto industry.
