One can face some dilemmas when the time comes to decide upon which part, system, or facility to reuse when several options are available. The decision-making process should be based on the evaluation of a certain number of parameters which should not be exhaustive, and should be carefully reviewed and adapted to the context in which reusability is done. Some of drivers of the decision-making process of reusability would be:
- Fixed and variable costs (traditional accounting misleading)
- Performance and Capability
- Behaviour, and interface with other parts
- Modularity (How flexible is the design?)
- Customer acceptance and satisfaction
- Underlying technology competitiveness
- Capacity availability
- Cost of incremental capacity
- Fixed costs and Variable costs, as for parts and systems reusability
- Manufacturing Flexibility: Volume/Mix flexibility, Product/Changeover flexibility
- Process capability (Is the process delivering what it is expected to deliver? How consistent
- Reuse effectiveness index.
