The role of sustainable reverse engineering to improving competitive advantage

Abstract

The research aims to study the strategy and costs of sustainable reverse engineering and to explain the reasons for the shift from traditional production to sustainable production through the statement of the knowledge bases of sustainable reverse engineering technology and the development of a proposed framework to reduce costs through sustainable reverse engineering that contributes to the production of environmentally friendly products and the role that can contribute to it In improving the quality of those products as well as assisting the management of the economic unit in improving it for the sustainable competitive advantage and maintaining it, and to achieve this, the researcher relied on the inductive approach in writing the theoretical framework for the research and by relying on foreign and Arabic books, theses, theses, research, periodicals, and Arab and foreign articles related to the research topic.          The researcher reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the application of sustainable reverse engineering and measuring its costs contributes to improving the quality of the product by reducing the replacement of materials harmful to the environment and human health with other materials that are less harmful and polluting to the environment and reduce the rates of damage as a result of excluding activities that do not add value to the product or customer, which led to To reduce the cost of the product, reduce its consumption of electrical energy, meet environmental requirements, increase productivity to meet social requirements, improve the reputation and image of the economic unit to meet economic requirements and improve its competitive advantage.
