Locomotive Remanufacturing to Support Sustainable Development: Lessons Learned from Indonesia

This paper analyses the contribution made by the locomotive remanufacturing to supporting sustainable development. A case study approach is used to analyse the practice of remanufacturing in the centre of locomotive maintenance, repair and overhaul situated in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The practice of locomotive remanufacturing contributes to economic development in at least three ways: economically, socially and ecologically. The challenges of locomotive remanufacturing are also presented. This paper offers originality and contributes to knowledge in the sense that it is the first time that locomotive remanufacturing has been analysed from a macro perspective. Future research recommendations are presented at the end of the paper.
