| Abstract |
The study presents a comprehensive analysis of the automobile scrap cycle and a scientific evaluation of the tactics and strategies to improve it. The analysis is as follows: A general model of the total cycle is developed to highlight the interrelationships that exist between the major industrial segments; A detailed flow and process chart is developed to define the scope of operations and delineate the currently available technology in each major area; A decision-logic approach is integrated with the flow charts; All the key decisions affecting recycling in each industry segment are noted and the barriers to favorable decisions are enumerated; Some possible tactics for improved recycling are discussed; and A method for selecting the best course of action is dicussed.
