This paper presents a algorithm for the improvement of the manufacturing process developed and tested for small-scale enterprise. The validity of the algorithm can be seen through: defining basic elements, defining environmental factors, the importance of resources, and the analysis of input and output in the manufacturing process. The algorithm incorporates implemented strategies: remanufacturing and 4Rs. The paper analyzed the temperature transmitter at the end of its life circle. Reuse transmitter is realized through: checking, disassembly, replacement parts, cleaning, re-assembling and testing. The work provides an example of how to save energy and materials which appear as large losses in the manufacturing process.
