This book is the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Autonomous Remanufacturing (IWAR 2024) and contains contributions from innovators in autonomous remanufacturing to strengthen the body of knowledge on design, modelling and control of remanufacturing processes and systems. Remanufacturing has been identified as having significant financial and environment benefits; however, critical challenges still remain in designing and operating remanufacturing processes and systems. These challenges are complex, spanning all product life cycles and encompassing multiple disciplines within and outside of engineering. In particular, the book showcases the work of experts on reverse logistics optimization, designing products for disassembly, and advancements in remanufacturing automation. These topics are currently at the forefront of discussions among leading industries and researchers.

This book provides an accessible one-volume introduction to Lean Six Sigma and statistics in engineering for students and industry practitioners. Lean production has long been regarded as critical to
