Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework for predicting the seasonal demand for fashion based on the Bass Diffusion model of demand and the Newsvendor inventory management model. Sales and inventory management simulations based on these models have been implemented in the Julia programming language to demonstrate how theoretical models can be made operational using open-source software for the benefit of small- to medium-scale enterprises with limited resources. Design/methodology/approach The paper employs simulation models implemented in the Julia programming languages to explore the use of theoretical models of demand on the seasonal management of fashion inventory. Findings The research demonstrates that further exploration of the framework described is worth undertaking. Research limitations/implications The paper employs theoretical models and is therefore conceptual in its outlook. Nonetheless it provides insights that could be explored further if real-world sales data would become available. Practical implications The framework provides simple models for predicting the demand for fashion that allows “what-if” scenarios to be constructed based on the manipulation of a few model parameters. Social implications The framework provides low-cost analytical tools that support small fashion enterprises with regards to market understanding and the operational management requirements necessary to support those markets. Originality/value The analytical use of the Bass model of demand with the Newsvendor model of inventory management within a fashion context.

Abstract:
The peak of the tourism industry in West Nusa Tenggara before the COVID-19 pandemic suggested that its position was already in the stagnation stage according to TALC (Tourism Area Life Cycle). Also, the stage can be aligned with PLC (Product Life Cycle) which is known as the maturity stage. This research extracted opinions from tourism industry stakeholders by using multiple FGD (Focus Group Discussion) and summarized the result into a recommendation to avoid the declining stage of the tourism industry, especially in West Nusa Tenggara. One of the main conclusive answers is optimizing e-tourism at an innovative pace. However, this step does not only need good commitment, support, and collaborative intention from whole stakeholders but also good preparation from local human resources to support its sustainability. This preparation should be fulfilled by local vocational higher education in West Nusa Tenggara which is known as Tourism Polytechnic Lombok.

Abstract:
AbstractOptimized lightweight manufacturing of parts is crucial for automotive and aeronautical industries in order to stay competitive and to reduce costs and fuel consumption. Hence, aluminum becomes an unquestionable material choice regarding these challenges. Nevertheless, using only virgin aluminum is not satisfactory because its extraction requires high use of energy and effort, and its manufacturing has high environmental impact. For these reasons, the use of recycled aluminum alloys is recommended considering their properties meet the expected technical and environmental added values. This requires complete reengineering of the classical life cycle of aluminum-based products and the collaboration practices in the global supply chain. The results from several interdependent disciplines all need to be taken into account for a global product/process optimization. Toward achieving this, a method for sustainability assessment integration into product life cycle management and a platform for life cycle simulation integrating environmental concerns are proposed in this paper. The platform may be used as a decision support system in the early product design phase by simulating the life cycle of a product (from material selection to production and recycling phases) and calculating its impact on the environment.

Abstract:
With the advent of full service contracts by the Navy, shipyards have become responsible for the life-cycle support of ships, including maintenance and logistics data over the life of the ship. Hence, it will become increasingly important for shipyards to efficiently integrate acquisition data with life-cycle support products. In particular, the use of an Integrated Data Environment (IDE), mandated for all ACAT1 acquisition programs, serves to collect and configure design, engineering, and production information during acquisition. This information is also required to develop the logistics data for the ship, including technical publications, as well as support life-cycle support systems. The shipyard's cost and performance of these new Navy contracts will depend on the efficient incorporation of this engineering and design information. The Navy and the aerospace domains are moving toward the adoption of a new life-cycle support standard for technical publication: the International Specification for Technical Publications Utilizing a Common Source Database (also known as S1000D). This standard applies to both land- and sea-specific applications, as well as defense and commercial uses. The purpose of the specification was to address the dramatically rising costs of managing life-cycle support information. The specification adopts ISO, CALS, and W3C standards. In fact, it uses Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) AP239, Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS), as one of its normative standards. The Integrated Shipbuilding Environment (ISE) project has published a technical architecture, including XML-based information models, for the sharing of product model data to exchange design, engineering, and production data. The direct use of such data in the population of technical publications could result in significant savings. This paper discusses the requirements and use cases necessary to define the architecture and process to populate portions of the common source database for ship life-cycle support using product model data in ISE format. Specifically, it addresses the issues involved in generating PLCS technical data directly from ISE product model data and populating a database in accordance with the S1000D standard. Both the S1000D standard for interactive technical documentation and AP239 life-cycle support data will be analyzed based on the ISE technical architecture. The integration of the document-centric S1000D standard with the data-centric AP239 and ISE standards is discussed.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to empirically analyze how adaptive collaboration in supply chain management impacts demand forecast accuracy in short life-cycle products, depending on collaboration intensity, product life-cycle stage, retailer type and product category. Design/methodology/approach – The authors assembled a data set of forecasts and sales of 169 still-camera models, made by the same manufacturer and sold by three different retailers in France over five years. Collaboration intensity, coded by collaborative planning forecasting and replenishment level, was used to analyze the main effects and specific interaction effects of all variables using ANOVA and ordered feature evaluation analysis (OFEA). Findings – The findings lend empirical support to the long-standing assumption that supply chain collaboration intensity increases demand forecast accuracy and that product maturation also increases forecast accuracy even in short life-cycle products. Furthermore, the findings show that it is particularly the lack of collaboration that causes negative effects on forecast accuracy, while positive interaction effects are only found for life cycle stage and product category. Practical implications – Investment in adaptive supply chain collaboration is shown to increase demand forecast accuracy. However, the choice of collaboration intensity should account for life cycle stage, retailer type and product category. Originality/value – This paper provides empirical support for the adaptive collaboration concept, exploring not only the actual benefits but also the way it is achieved in the context of innovative products with short life cycles. The authors used a real-world data set and pushed its statistical analysis to a new level of detail using OFEA.

Abstract:
In order to increase value and reduce environmental loads and resource consumption over the entire product life cycle, a designer should design a product life cycle as well as a product in an integrated manner. In order to support such integrated life cycle design, we are currently developing Life Cycle CAD (LC-CAD) system. Indispensable requirements for LC-CAD system include the following three points: (1) Representing a product and its life cycle in an integrated manner, (2) Managing the consistency of the relationship between a product and its life cycle, and (3) Life cycle evaluation by using the information of a product and its life cycle. This paper focuses on the function (1) and (2), and proposes a method of consistency management between a product and its life cycle. For this purpose, this paper proposes a method for representing a product and its life cycle with defining the relationship between these two models. Then, this paper proposes a management scheme for the consistency of the relationship. We developed a prototype systemand applied it to design of Liquid Cristal Display (LCD) TV as a case study. The result indicates that the relationship between a product and its life cycle is successfully represented and managed, and that a designer can design them in an integrated manner.

Abstract:
The development of innovative technologies in production against the background of the globalization of commodity markets and increased competition has led to a reduction in the life cycle of most products of industrial companies, while increasing the requirements for the validity of management decisions regarding the release of new types of products and product range planning. The purpose of this research is to study the problem of information support for the strategic management of large manufacturing companies in the context of the need to make effective management decisions on the planning of the product range, the implementation of capital investment, the launch of new products based on the implementation and use of the full life cycle calculation system. The paper analyses the prerequisites for the emergence of a system of calculating the full life cycle of a product, considers the key features and advantages of using this system. The study formulates the requirements for the organization of cost accounting in the context of the application of the calculation of the full life cycle, gives recommendations for planning and controlling costs in the context of the stages of the “life” of the product. The author made a conclusion about the expediency of implementing the system under consideration for Russian manufacturing companies, revealed the sequence of applying the calculation method in the conditions of its use. The article shows the possibilities of using Japanese cost management systems and cost calculation in relation to individual stages of the life cycle. The paper gives the characteristic features of companies for which the use of this system is most appropriate.

Abstract:
This research thesis presents the development of a novel Lean Knowledge Life Cycle (LeanKLC) framework to support the transformation into a Lean Product Development (LeanPD) knowledge environment. The LeanKLC framework introduces a baseline model to understand the three dimensions of knowledge management in product development as well as its contextualisation with acclaimed LeanPD process models. The LeanKLC framework comprises 23 tasks, each accomplished in one of the seven key stages, these being: knowledge identification, previous knowledge capture, knowledge representation, knowledge sharing, knowledge integration, knowledge use and provision and dynamic knowledge capture. The rigorous research methodology employed to develop the LeanKLC framework entailed extensive data collection starting with a literature review to highlight the gap in the current body of knowledge. Additionally, industrial field research provides empirical evidence on the current industrial perspectives and challenges in managing product development knowledge. This research was part of a European FP7 project entitled Lean Product and Process Development (LeanPPD), which provided the opportunity to involve industrial collaborators in action research to support practical aspects during the LeanKLC framework development. The synthesis with the current LeanPD paradigm is accomplished by demonstrating the LeanKLC stages in two distinct streams related to the development of A3 thinking for problem solving and the development of trade-off curves to facilitate set based design at the conceptual stage. The novel LeanKLC is validated in two case studies providing the industry with detailed insights on real product development applications. In particular this research highlights that the LeanPD knowledge environment is a wide subject area that has not yet been thoroughly understood and that industry engagement in empirical research is vital in order to realise any form of LeanPD transformation.

Abstract:
Abstract : The use of social media tools to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to support their business activities throughout the product life cycle (PLC) phases represents an interesting opportunity. SMEs operate in very competitive environments, and face significant challenges primarily caused by their size disadvantage. By nature, social media tools and platforms can enable them to overcome some of these challenges, as they are often very inexpensive, familiar and easy to use, allowing them to reach large audiences they would not be able to reach with traditional and expensive marketing initiatives. To provide solutions to this problem, this research identified three main objectives. The first objective was to draw a picture of the existing academic literature on the use of social media tools in the PLC context to better understand how these tools were studied and used in businesses, and for what purpose. Second, this research aimed at understanding how SMEs actually use social media tools to support their different business activities to identify the gap between academic research and actual business practices. Finally, based on the findings highlighted from the previous objectives, this research aimed at developing theory on this topic by proposing a conceptual framework of customer engagement enabled by social media. The conceptual framework aimed at answering general questions that emerged from the initial two objectives: Why do some SMEs use social media to support customer engagement, while others do not? Why do firms use different social media tools to support their customer engagement initiatives? Why does the scope of customer engagement initiatives (i.e., across different PLC phases) vary between SMEs? What are the potential outcomes of conducting customer engagement initiatives for the organizing firms? In order to achieve these research objectives, the methodology employed for this research is threefold. First, a systematic literature review was performed in order to properly understand how the use of social media tools in the PLC context had been studied. The final results consisted of 78 academic articles which were analyzed based on their bibliometric information and their content. Second, in order to draw the contrast between the academic publications and managerial reality of SMEs, six semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand how these firms actually use social media to support different activities in each of the PLC phases. Third, five additional semi-structured interviews were performed to gather a deeper understanding of this phenomenon and generate theory to support the proposed conceptual framework. The conceptual framework focuses on the degree of customer engagement, which is comprised of the scope (PLC phases) of customer engagement and the technology (social media tools) employed to support these initiatives. Two sets of antecedents were examined, firm motivators and firm impediments, as they could both potentially affect the scope and the social media tools used to support customer engagement initiatives. Finally, potential customer engagement outcomes for SMEs developing these initiatives were also examined. The semi-structured interviews lasted approximately 25-35 minutes, and were performed using an interview grid consisting of 24 open-ended questions. The interview grid was developed based on the findings of the systematic literature review, and this qualitative approach allowed for a rich understanding of the interviewed SMEs’ use of social media tools to support and engage customers in their different PLC activities. The main results highlighted by this project demonstrate that this field is relatively recent and sees constant increase in research interest since 2008. However, most of the academic research focuses on the use of social media tools to support innovation activities during the new product development process, while the interviewed firms almost exclusively used the tools to engage customers in the later phases of the PLC, primarily for promotion, customer service support, and business development activities. Interestingly, the interviewed firms highlighted several benefits of using social media tools to engage customers, some of which could help them overcome certain size disadvantages previously mentioned. These firms are in need of further guidelines to properly implement such initiatives and reap the expected benefits. Results suggest that SMEs are far behind both large companies and academic research in their use of social media to engage customers in different business activities. The proposed conceptual framework serves as a great tool to better understand their reality and eventually better support them in their social media and customer engagement efforts. However, this framework needs to be further developed and improved. This research project provides a 360-degree view of the phenomenon of the use of social media to support customer engagement for SMEs, by providing both a thorough systematic review of the academic research and an understanding of the managerial reality of SMEs behind this phenomenon. From this analysis, a conceptual framework is then proposed and serves as a stepping stone for future researchers who are interested in developing theory in this field.
Résumé : L’utilisation des médias sociaux en support aux activités d’affaires dans chaque phase du cycle de vie des produits et services des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) représente une excellente opportunité pour les entreprises cherchant à se différencier du marché et se rapprocher de leur clientèle. Les PME œuvrent dans des milieux extrêmement compétitifs et doivent faire face à cette concurrence avec des ressources généralement inférieures aux grandes entreprises qui œuvrent dans la même industrie. L’idée d’identifier comment les technologies peuvent soutenir les PME et réduire l’écart qui les sépare de certains joueurs dans leurs milieux respectifs est apparue comme un sujet pertinent, ayant le potentiel d’amener une contribution académique et managériale. Les médias sociaux ont, par leur nature, le potentiel de permettre aux PME de rejoindre les masses, démontrer de la créativité et ainsi être plus compétitifs que jamais. Les médias sociaux s’avèrent d’autant plus pertinents puisqu’ils sont accessibles à relativement moindre coût, nous sommes familiers avec ces outils et ils sont généralement faciles à utiliser. Ils peuvent ainsi permettre aux entreprises d’accomplir des choses que leurs ressources ne pourraient normalement pas leur permettre. Afin de soutenir les PME dans leurs efforts pour réduire cet écart face aux grandes entreprises, ce projet de recherche identifie trois principaux objectifs. Le premier objectif était de dresser un portrait de la littérature scientifique sur l’utilisation des outils de médias sociaux dans le contexte de cycle de vie des produits afin de mieux comprendre comment ces outils ont été étudiés et utilisés en entreprises. En second lieu, cette étude avait comme but de comprendre comment les PME utilisent les médias sociaux pour supporter leurs différentes activités d’entreprises afin d’identifier l’écart entre la littérature scientifique et la réalité de monde des affaires. Finalement, cette recherche vise à développer de la théorie sur ce sujet en proposant un cadre conceptuel sur l’engagement des consommateurs soutenu par les médias sociaux. Le cadre conceptuel a comme objectif de répondre aux questions qui ont émergé en analysant les réponses aux deux premiers objectifs: pourquoi certaines PME utilisent les médias sociaux pour soutenir l’engagement des consommateurs alors que d’autres ne le font pas? Pourquoi les entreprises utilisent-elles différents outils de médias sociaux pour soutenir leurs initiatives d’engagement des consommateurs? Pourquoi est-ce que la portée (différentes phases du cycle de vie des produits) des initiatives d’engagement des consommateurs varie entre les PME? Quels sont les aboutissements potentiels pour une organisation qui met sur pied une initiative d’engagement des consommateurs? Dans le but de répondre à ces objectifs, la méthodologie employée est constituée de trois étapes distinctes. Premièrement, une revue systématique de la littérature a été exécutée afin de comprendre comment l’utilisation des médias sociaux dans le contexte de cycle de vie des produits a été étudiée. 78 articles ont répondu aux critères d’exclusion et ont été analysés afin de faire ressortir des résultats basés sur leur information bibliométrique et leur contenu. Deuxièmement, afin de délimiter l’écart entre les publications académiques et la réalité des PME, six entrevues semi-structurées ont été menées afin de comprendre comment ces entreprises utilisent les médias sociaux pour supporter différentes activités dans chaque phase du cycle de vie des produits. Troisièmement, cinq entrevues semi-structurées supplémentaires ont été menées afin d’obtenir une compréhension plus en profondeur de ce phénomène et ainsi générer de la théorie pour développer davantage le cadre conceptuel proposé. L'accent du cadre conceptuel est le degré d’engagement des consommateurs, qui comprend la portée (phases du cycle de vie des produits) de l’engagement des consommateurs et les technologies (outils de médias sociaux) utilisées pour soutenir ces initiatives. Deux antécédents ont été examinés, soient les motivateurs et les obstacles aux entreprises, puisqu’ils pourraient tous deux potentiellement affecter la portée et les outils de médias sociaux utilisés en soutient aux initiatives d’engagement des consommateurs. Finalement, les aboutissements potentiels à engager les consommateurs pour les PME qui mettent sur pied ce genre d’initiatives sont également examinés. Les entrevues semi-structurées étaient d’une durée d’environ 25 à 35 minutes. Une grille d’entrevue composée de 24 questions ouvertes a été utilisée afin d’orienter les entrevues et collecter des données. Cette grille a été développée en fonction de l’analyse et des résultats provenant de la revue systématique de la littérature. L’approche qualitative de ces entrevues a permis d’obtenir une compréhension en profondeur de l’utilisation des médias sociaux en support à l’engagement des consommateurs dans diverses activités du cycle de vie des produits des PME. Les principaux résultats de ce projet illustrent que ce domaine d’étude est relativement récent et illustrent une constante croissance dans l’intérêt de recherche pour ce sujet de recherche depuis 2008. Cependant, la plupart des recherches académiques mettent l'accent sur l’utilisation des médias sociaux en support aux activités d’innovation lors des phases du processus de développement de nouveaux produits, alors que les entreprises interviewées utilisent presque exclusivement les médias sociaux pour engager les consommateurs à des fins de promotion, service à la clientèle et développement d’affaires lors des dernières phases du cycle de vie des produits. Il est intéressant de noter que les entreprises interviewées ont identifié plusieurs bénéfices à utiliser les médias sociaux afin de surmonter certains désavantages mentionnés ci-dessus. Ces bénéfices potentiels illustrent l’importance pour ces PME de bénéficier de plus amples directives et recommandations afin d’effectivement implanter ces initiatives et de récolter ces bénéfices potentiels. Nos résultats nous ont permis de comprendre que les PME sont en retard sur les grandes entreprises et le milieu académique dans leur utilisation des médias sociaux pour engager les consommateurs dans diverses activités d’entreprises. Le cadre conceptuel proposé est un excellent outil permettant de mieux comprendre la réalité des PME et éventuellement de mieux les supporter dans leur implantation de divers médias sociaux et leurs efforts pour engager des consommateurs. Cependant, ce cadre conceptuel nécessite davantage de recherches afin de le développer davantage et l’améliorer. Cette recherche se différencie des autres recherches dans ce domaine en fournissant une vue globale de ce phénomène, soit une rigoureuse revue systématique de la littérature académique, ainsi qu’une analyse de la réalité pratique des PME. De cette analyse, un cadre conceptuel est proposé et sert de fondement pour les futurs chercheurs qui souhaitent développer de la théorie reliée à ce domaine d’étude.

Abstract:
Les Systèmes Produit-Service (PSS) résultent d'une intégration de composants hétérogènes couvrant à la fois des aspects matériels et immatériels (mécanique, électrique,logiciel, processus, organisation, etc.). Le processus de développement d’un PSS est fortement collaboratif impliquant des acteurs métier très variés.Ce caractère interdisciplinaire nécessite des référentiels sémantiques standardisés pour gérer la multitude des points de vue métier et faciliter l’intégration de tous les composants hétérogènes dans un système unique. Ceci est encore plus complexe dans le cas des PSS personnalisables, majoritaires dans le milieu industriel. Malgré les nombreuses méthodologies dans littérature, la gestion des processus de développement du PSS reste encore limitée face à cette complexité. Dans ce contexte, l'Ingénierie des systèmes (IS) pourrait être une solution avantageuse au regard de ses qualités bien prouvé pour la modélisation et la gestion de systèmes complexes. Cette thèse vise à explorer le potentiel d'utilisation de l'Ingénierie des systèmes (IS) comme fondement conceptuel pour représenter d’une façon intégrée tous les différents points de vue métier associés au cycle de vie du PSS. Dans ce cadre, un méta-modèle de PSS est proposé et exemplifié dans des cas industriels. Un modèle ontologique est aussi présenté comme une application d’une partie des modèles pour structurer le référentiel commun de la plateforme ICP4Life
Product-service systems (PSS) result from the integration of heterogeneous components covering both tangible and intangible aspects(mechanical, electrical, software, process, organization, etc.). The process of developing PSS is highly collaborative involving a wide variety of stakeholders. This interdisciplinary nature requires standardized semantic repositories to handle the multitude of business views and facilitate the integration of all heterogeneous components into a single system. This is even more complex in the case of customizable PSS in the industrial sector. Despite the many methodologies in literature, the management of the development processes of the PSS is still limited to face this complexity. In this context, Systems Engineering (SE) could bean advantageous solution in terms of its proven qualities for the modeling and management of complex systems. This thesis aims at exploring the potentials of Systems Engineering (SE) as a conceptual foundation to represent various different business perspectives associated with the life cycle of the PSS. In this context, a meta-model for PSS is proposed and verified in industrial cases. An ontological model is also presented as an application of a part of the model to structure the common repository of the ICP4Life platform

Abstract:
As the green movement begins to sweep through the construction industry, decision-makers are beginning to include a sustainable aspect to their purchase decisions. Selecting a product solely based on its sustainability, however, is not enough to drive product selection in the construction industry. Cost still dominates the selection of building products. The level of sustainability of a product and its cost are not interconnected as market prices do not reflect the cost of environmental impacts, such as the cost of global warming or fossil fuel depletion. Having two distinct aspects to consider adds complexity in the product selection process. Typically, it constrains decision-makers to perform a trade-off analysis that does not necessarily guarantee the most environmentally preferable purchase decision. This study proposes a life-cycle management (LCM) system that reinforces the choices made by decision-makers by providing a scientific justification for those decisions. The proposed system analyses the environmental and economic performance of building product through life-cycle analysis and purchase price analysis. It operates on tools publicly available in the market and state-of-the-art analysis, assessment, and interpretation methods. The LCM system combines two distinct product attributes into a single performance score that can be easily interpreted. It allows decision-makers to compare product scores and ultimately make the most environmentally responsible and financially viable selection. A comprehensive approach is used to refine and test the LCM system using case studies comprised of an environmental and economic performance evaluation of flooring products. The contribution of this research includes the consideration of a holistic approach to product selection based on environmental and cost performance. Pre-construction estimators and construction managers could improve their estimating and product selection practices using the proposed system. Material suppliers can also benefit from this approach, as they can use it to enhance their pricing strategies, marketing plans, and overall product competitiveness.

Abstract:
A new economic model for the evaluation of integrated Design, Production, and Logistic Support Systems (DPLSSs) is designed and developed in this thesis. The DPLSS model was created after a survey of Life Cycle Costing (LCC) applications revealed that no models for assessing integrated design, production, and logistic support systems were available. The evaluation technique the model is based on is called Life Cycle Value Assessment (LCVA). LCVA differs from LCC in that it emphasizes consideration of life cycle revenues as well as costs.

The system addressed by the DPLSS model has a life cycle which includes product design, production capability design and construction, production, product distribution, logistic system support and maintenance, and system disposal. The baseline production capability assumed when developing the DPLSS model involves batch processing, forming the base material into individual units, and performing detailed processing operations. It has also been assumed that items produced are non-repairable.

The DPLSS model facilitates the evaluation of new DPLSSs by leading managers through the new LCVA methodology, A Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) which is compatible with the DPLSS life cycle has been developed as a basis for the model. This CBS is used to address DPLSSs descriptively and nonnatively during LCVA evaluations.

A menu-driven computer program has also been developed to implement the DPLSS model on an IBM PC. This program leads users through the new LCVA-based methodology, performs economic and sensitivity analyses on their inputs, and then allows "what-if?â analyses on varying system configurations to be performed.

Abstract:
Successful competition in the computer systems industry depends on a firm's ability to bring profitable products to market. The success of a product is measured by its future worth to the company. Life-cycle complete design attempts to engineer products that provide maximum future worth. Many components contribute to the overall cost of developing a product. Designing merely to reduce the cost of the components that make up the system is insufficient.

A product must be engineered in a manner that addresses all pertinent issues over its complete life cycle. This research examines the use of the VHSIC Hardware Description Language as a computer-aided engineering tool for life-cycle complete engineering. VHDL is traditionally used to model the functional behavior of digital systems. This thesis provides an overview of a life-cycle complete design process and describes the use of VHDL to support that process. A case study is presented to illustrate the use of VHDL for life-cycle complete modeling.

Abstract:
The huge landfills from solid waste generated by the massive utilisation of different products from domestic sources are badly affecting the environment. About 70% of the solid municipal waste, two thirds of which comprises of household waste, is dumped as landflll all over the world. For efficient product lifecycle management via upgrade, maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, and reclamation of components etc., storage of product related information throughout its lifecycle is indispensable. Efficient use of information technology integrated with product design can enable products to manage themselves in a semiautomatic and intelligent manner. It means that products themselves should contain informationú that what to do with them when they are of no use. More advanced products may locate themselves and communicate with their recyclers through internet or some other communication technology. In this regard, different types of technologies have been investigated. These technologies are broadly classified as passive embedded information devices and active embedded information devices. Methods of automatic identification in combination with information technology can act as passive Embedded Information Devices (EID) to make products intelligent enough in order to manage associated information throughout their life cycles. Barcodes, Radio Frequency Identification tags, and a new technology called i-button technology were investigated as possible candidates for passive EIDs. The ibutton technology from the perspective of product lifecycle management is presented for the very first time in the literature. Experiments demonstrated that RFID and i-button technologies have potential to store not only the static but dynamic data up to some extent, such as small maintenance logs. As passive EIDs are unable to store the sensory data and detailed maintenance logs regarding a product, therefore, in addition to these demonstrators for passive EIDs, an advanced active EID demonstrator for lifecycle management of products with high functional complexity is also presented. Initially, the idea is presented as smart EID system that r~cords the sensory data of a refrigerator compressor and stores the detailed maintenance logs into the product itself. However, this idea is extended as intelligent EID that is implemented on a gearbox in order to predict the gearbox lifetime under an accelerated life test. This involves developmen,t of a novel on-chip life prediction algorithm to predict the gearbox lifetime under accelerated life testing scenario. The algorithm involves a combination of artificial neural networks and an appropriate reliability distribution. Results of accelerated life testing, simulation for the choice of appropriate reliability distribution and the life prediction algorithm are presented. Bi-directional communication software that is developed in order to retrieve lifecycle data from the intelligent EID and to keep intelligent EID updated is also explained. Overall, embedded information devices can be proposed as a good solution to support a sustainable approach to lifecycle management.

Abstract:
The military community has considerable experience in the areas of procuring and managing large systems. These systems are often expected to perform their intended function over a period of several years and as a result, they will require an extensive support structure consisting of personnel, equipment and spare assets. For this reason, Logistics Management has always been an important field within the military and is gaining recognition within private industry as well. The evolutionary process which starts with the identification of a need and continues through design, production and retirement is known as a product's life cycle. Studies have shown that the decisions which are made initially, during the design of the product, will determine 80% of the total system costs. Several efforts have been initiated to improve the product design process and emphasize the life cycle approach. These include; Concurrent Engineering, Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). These efforts necessitate an overhaul of the decision-making methods used in the product design process. Consequently, within the military community and private industry, the time-honored sequential-hierarchical-decision approach to design is being replaced with concurrent decision-making. The sequential process of the hierarchical method can lead to suboptimal designs which significantly increase manufacturing and follow-on support costs.

Abstract:
AbstractAs our technology-driven society is facing new environmental challenges, more and more companies’ key decision-makers are committing to limit the impact of their products and services on the environment. While ecodesign approaches have shown the potential to increase companies’ global value proposition, the integration of environmental parameters at an early stage of the design process will only be possible if such approach is tailored to a specific sector and customer expectations. To support environmental experts in charge of organizing the integration of such approach in the design process of complex engineering systems, VITO retrospectively analysed a project initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA), from a product strategy perspective. A transposable and replicable action-step methodology facilitating the creation of a common language and enabling the translation of environmental commitments into functional requirements is resulting.

Abstract:
This paper will discuss critical issues and needs in the product performance validation domain. There is a primary need to manage a vast variety of CAE and Test data files that are used and generated throughout the product performance life cycle. The paper will discuss the different elements of managing such data including basic data structures, process and work flow requirements, product validation plans, and security and access privilege considerations. The goal of executing CAE Analysis or performing physical tests is to gather all product performance information. Evaluating all performance measurements specified for the product makes it possible to ensure that the product will behave as specified throughout its service life. The key here is that decision makers need access to all possible performance metrics for a product, an assembly or a component. There is a primary need to manage a vast variety of CAE and Test data files that are used and generated through the product performance life cycle. The paper addresses the different elements of managing such data including basic data structures, process and work flow requirements, product validation plans, security access privilege considerations and data standardization. This paper will also outline how the product validation management system architecture can support all the needs of this domain. The principal elements of the system include the supporting data structures that are mapped to a database management system and access methods using a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Abstract:
In the last two decades during which the competitive business environment increased, it became crucial for each company to find the most accurate strategy to make survive its business. For that reason they need to manage and control their costs. Life Cycle Costing is one of these tools, which helps to analyse the cost of a product in the whole life of a product. To be competitive, the organisations have to optimize not only their products but also all their processes. Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) addresses the area between product design and production. Therefore MPM supports to optimize the manufacturing area of a factory. With different virtual scenarios the best solution of the manufacturing process can be obtained and at the same time it is possible to reduce time to market, costs and increase the quality. The focus of this paper is to integrate Life Cycle Costing tools and methods in the MPM part of the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). We will discuss the implementation of Activity Based Costing (ABC) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methods in a PLM tool for an early design decision support.

Abstract:
With the advent of full service contracts by the Navy, shipyards have become responsible for the life cycle support of ships, including maintenance and logistics data over the life of the ship. Hence, it will become increasingly important for shipyards to efficiently integrate acquisition data with lifecycle support products. In particular, the use of an Integrated Data Environment (IDE), mandated for all ACAT1 acquisition programs, serves to collect and configure design, engineering and production information during acquisition. This information is also required to develop the logistics data for the ship, including technical publications, as well as support life cycle support systems. The shipyard’s cost and performance of these new Navy contracts will depend on the efficient incorporation of this engineering and design information. The Navy and the aerospace domains are moving toward the adoption of a new the life cycle support standard for technical publication: the International Specification for Technical Publications utilizing a common source database (a.k.a. S1000D). This standard applies to both land and sea specific applications, as well as defense and commercial uses. The purpose of the specification was to address the dramatically rising costs of managing life cycle support information. The specification adopts ISO, CALS, and W3C standards. In fact, it uses STEP AP239, Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) as one of its normative standards The Integrated Shipbuilding Environment (ISE) project has published a technical architecture, including XML-based information models, for the sharing of product model data to exchange design, engineering, and production data. The direct use of such data in the population of technical publications could result in significant savings. This paper discusses the requirements and use cases necessary to define the architecture and process to populate portions of the ‘common source database’ for ship life cycle support using product model data in ISE format. Specifically it addresses the issues involved in generating PLCS technical data directly from ISE product model data and populating a database in accordance with the S1000D standard. Both the S1000D standard for interactive technical documentation and AP239, lifecycle support data, will be analyzed based on the ISE technical architecture. The integration of the document-centric S1000D standard with the data-centric AP239 and ISE standards is discussed.

Abstract:
Widespread IT application leads up to the idea of integrating all the information related with products. It is the ultimate goal to design a product creatively and automatically acquiring all the updated information through close interaction with Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) system starting from conceptual design phase. In this paper, Product Genetic Engineering (PGE) concept for innovative design automation is introduced, and extended to Product Life-Cycle Genetic Engineering (PLCGE) which has genes for downstream processes and can interact with all the real-time information through PLM, and so provides real-time support for PGE decision-making. A basic framework for PLCGE is proposed in which the product development can be divided into two main phases: the generation of product “genome” and the growth of the “genome” into its physical form. In the former phase, the product genome originates from and serves as an extension to human genome, and forms a complete genome through design process dealing with life-cycle factors. In the latter phase, the product genome acquires “protein” to grow inside its mother body (the factory), and PLM system acts as an “umbilical cord” between the product genome and its mother body. Finally, a case study of PLCGE application in Mass Customization is made for validity of PLCGE.

Abstract:
Manufacturers are currently shifting their focus from selling products to providing services, hence the product’s designers must increasingly consider life-cycle requirements, in addition to conventional design parameters. To identify possible areas of concern, engineers must consider knowledge gained through the life cycle of similar or related product. However, because of the size and distributed nature of a company’s operation, engineers often do not have access to front-line maintenance data. In addition, the large number of documents generated during the design and operation of a product makes it impractical to manually review all documents thoroughly during a task. This paper presents a knowledge-based document repository demonstrator that is capable of providing such support for the maintainers and designers of jet engines.

Abstract:
Abstract Decisions taken in the early phases of product development have great influence on the final product both seen from a design activity point of view and from a product life-cycle point of view. Most computerbased design support systems for engineering design like CAD-systems etc. are not made for the very first and crucial decisions. The objective is to demonstrate that product modelling in interaction with a computer system using optimized graphical user interface can improve the designer’s basis for decision making in the early phases of the project. This paper presents the software system called Modellizer, which is based on the design theory called Theory of Domains that can be used to expand the concept of product models from a bill-of-material representation to a genetic model capturing decisions and design concepts during design activities. Modellizer has been implemented with a designer dedicated user interface, which supports product modelling and life-phase modelling in order to structure data and document based information. Three different applications of Modellizer is demonstrated in the paper: 1) OSS Modellizer is a prototype for a shipyard, where the idea is to support the early modelling of ships by catching decisions during design meetings 2) Alulib is a commercial available application for promoting more and correct use of aluminum. Alulib is a library with product examples. 3) LCA Visualizer is a commercial available application for evaluation and visualization of the environmental burden of different design scenarios. Until now Modellizer has been used in a number of companies and engineering academies and good results have been obtained.

Abstract:
Shipyards are increasingly responsible for the life cycle support of ships, including maintenance and logistics data over the life of the ship. Hence, it has become important for shipyards to efficiently integrate acquisition product model data with the lifecycle support product model data. The use of Integrated Data Environments (IDE) for Navy ship programs has fostered the integration of design, logistics, and production information for the ship. However, it has not been possible to exchange this integrated data set; rather, different data is typically transferred at different times often resulting in inconsistency. The Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) STEP standard (ISO 10303-239) for logistics data and life cycle support provides the capability to exchange logistics data linked back to design data. The standard was developed and has been implemented by the aerospace and defense industry. The ISE-6 project demonstrated the feasibility of using the PLCS standard for naval shipbuilding. This approach should also enable interoperability of life cycle data with other defense programs. The ISE-6 team mapped naval shipbuilding requirements into PLCS, while preserving compatibility with existing PLCS implementations. A unique feature was the automated mapping via template expansion and identification. The ISE-6 team conducted a demonstration of this capability, exchanging data between two Integrated Data Environments (IDE) and a Knowledge Management tool, which was used to modify and update the data for the receiving IDE. During the next phase of the project, the ISE-6 team will be investigating interoperability using the S1000D Specification for the procurement and production of technical publications.

Abstract:
The high competitive pressure in the aero-engine market demands higher quality products in shorter time at lower costs. In order to achieve this, a close integration of the product lifecycle with early design stages is necessary. Decisions made in design have an impact on later lifecycle areas like manufacturing and aftermarket, which a design may not foresee without the relevant information. This leads to avoidable iterations in the product development process. This paper illustrates a concept for a design decision support system on feature level. Key knowledge of different design domains is provided within the available design systems during the product development phases.

Abstract:
Snow and ice removal are important tasks during the winter season and large amounts of anti-icing and de-icing chemicals are used and there is a critical need to review and synthesize information from the literature to compare and contrast anti-icing and de-icing chemicals to understand their environmental impact and support decision making. The effectiveness, costs, and environmental impact of commonly used and alternative anti-icing and de-icing chemicals were reviewed in this study. Application of anti-icing and de-icing chemicals may increase ion concentrations in soils and change nitrogen cycle, soil pH, and trace metal concentrations, affect surface water and groundwater, and increase public health risks. Life cycle assessment was conducted to quantitively evaluate environmental impact of selected anti-icing and de-icing chemicals. A decision support tool on environmental impact was developed to evaluate environmental impact of anti-icing and de-icing chemicals in ten different environmental impact categories. The results showed the environmental life cycle assessment tool developed in this study can be used to compare multiple environment impacts to support decision making for winter operation chemicals.

Full text
Abstract:
20 years ago a concept of “Green Chemistry” was formulated by Paul Anastas and John Warner, aiming at an ambitious agenda to “green” chemical products and processes. Today the concept, laid down in a set of 12 principles, has found support in various arenas. This diffusion was supported by enhancements of the legislative framework; not only in the European Union. Nevertheless industry actors – whilst generally supporting the idea – still see “cost and perception remain barriers to green chemistry uptake”. Thus, the questions arise how additional incentives as well as measures to address the barriers and impediments can be provided. An analysis addressing these questions has to take into account the institutional context for the relevant actors involved in the issue. And it has to reflect the problem perception of the different stakeholders. The supply chain into which the chemicals are distributed are of pivotal importance since they create the demand pull for chemicals designed in accordance with the “Green Chemistry Principles”. Consequently, the scope of this study includes all stages in a chemical’s life-cycle, including the process of designing and producing the final products to which chemical substances contribute. For each stage the most relevant legislative acts, together establishing the regulatory framework of the “chemicals policy” in the EU are analysed. In a nutshell the main elements of the study can be summarized as follows: Green Chemistry (GC) is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Besides, reaction efficiency, including energy efficiency, and the use of renewable resources are other motives of Green Chemistry. Putting the GC concept in a broader market context, however, it can only prevail if in the perception of the relevant actors it is linked to tangible business cases. Therefore, the study analyses the product context in which chemistry is to be applied, as well as the substance’s entire life-cycle – in other words, the six stages in product innovation processes): 1. Substance design, 2. Production process, 3. Interaction in the supply chain, 4. Product design, 5. Use phase and 6. After use phase of the product (towards a “circular economy”). The report presents an overview to what extent the existing framework, i.e. legislation and the wider institutional context along the six stages, is setting incentives for actors to adequately address problematic substances and their potential impacts, including the learning processes intended to invoke creativity of various actors to solve challenges posed by these substances. In this respect, measured against the GC and Learning Process assessment criteria, the study identified shortcomings (“delta”) at each stage of product innovation. Some criteria are covered by the regulatory framework and to a relevant extent implemented by the actors. With respect to those criteria, there is thus no priority need for further action. Other criteria are only to a certain degree covered by the regulatory framework, due to various and often interlinked reasons. For those criteria, entry points for options to strengthen or further nuance coverage of the respective principle already exist. Most relevant are the deltas with regard to those instruments that influence the design phase; both for the chemical substance as such and for the end-product containing the substance. Due to the multi-tier supply chains, provisions fostering information, communication and cooperation of the various actors are crucial to underpin the learning processes towards the GCP. The policy options aim to tackle these shortcomings in the context of the respective stage in order to support those actors who are willing to change their attitude and their business decisions towards GC. The findings are in general coherence with the strategies to foster GC identified by the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council.

Abstract:
This report describes the results of technical analysis, field tests, and laboratory tests that were performed for LED highway lighting options by the Energy Efficiency and Reliability Center (EERC) at Purdue University Northwest for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). This effort was conducted over the past 3 years to evaluate and test the technology and viability of using modern highway lighting technology to enhance energy efficiency, safety, security, and economic development of communities and roadways. During the testing period there was a continuous discussion between INDOT and EERC regarding the laboratory and field testing of INDOT approved luminaires submitted by vendors. There were multiple discussions with INDOT and vendors regarding the individual details and issues for the 29 luminaires that were tested. A comparison study was conducted by EERC of the various alternatives and comparison to currently installed luminaires. Data was collected for field tests of the luminaires by EERC and INDOT personnel for the luminaires. Field data was evaluated and compared to lighting models using vendor supplied ies data files. Multiple presentations were made at 3 separate Purdue Road Schools regarding the results and procedures of the testing program by EERC in conjunction with INDOT. A total of 22 final reports, considered confidential by INDOT, for individual vendor luminaires have been prepared as part of this effort. These reports were submitted sequentially to INDOT as testing was completed during the course of this effort. A total of 29 luminaires were tested. Some luminaire testing was terminated during testing due to design issues or vendor requests. All testing was summarized in the INDOT specification sheet attached to each report. Observations regarding the consistency of the supplied test luminaire with the requirements of Section 7.2 of the INDOT test procedure “Procedure for evaluation and approval list requirements for solid state ballasted luminaires ITM 957-17P” is provided in the Appendix to the report for each luminaire. Details regarding how these tests were performed and the respective associated evaluation of performance and reliability are provided in the report. This effort included: consideration of published and vendor information; appraisal of products consistent with national industry standards; review of physical design, thermal performance; laboratory testing of photopic performance, reliability, life cycle data and characteristics, and power characteristics; technical and probabilistic risk studies; and field testing and analysis of LED light sources including comparison to currently installed conventional light sources. Assistance in preparing INDOT standards for highway lighting was provided on multiple occasions.
