In this paper we analyse transition towards circular economy as a complex adaptive system focusing on the market and behavioural barriers. We investigate the conditions for successful introduction of a new production which is appropriate for a circular eco ...
Optimal product management problems with multiple product generations in continuous time lead to the consideration of dynamic optimal control problems that feature both intervention costs and partially controlled regime shifts. We therefore investigate and ...
Additive manufacturing is becoming one of the key methods for reproducing repair sections in remanufacturing processes. The major advantage of using additive processes is to minimize production time and waste. However, the surface quality and shape accurac ...
The latest Living Planet Report of WWF shows that we used the regenerative capacity of 1.5 planets in 2010 at present consumption levels. An increasing number of companies set targets to lower the impact of their activities on the environment, but such tar ...
In this work, an Iodinated Contrast Medium (ICM), Iohexol, was subjected to treatment by 3 Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) (UV, UV/H2O2, UV/H2O2/Fe2+). Water, wastewater and urine were spiked with Iohexol, in order to investigate the treatment efficien ...
With technological progress, humans tend to create engineering systems with constantly increasing complexity and higher operational requirements. Many complex systems require the use of a Health Management (HM) solution to ensure safety and enable lifecycl ...
The And-Inverter Cone has been introduced as an alternative logic element to the look-up table in FPGAs, since it improves their performance and resource utilization. However, further analysis of the AIC design showed that it suffers from the delay discrep ...
We consider a portfolio of products in which each product probabilistically transitions through various life cycle stages. The evolution through these life cycle stages is impacted by both marketing support and product launch decisions, which are bound by ...
This paper describes our conceptual framework of closed-loop lifecycle information sharing for product-service in the Internet of Things (IoT). The framework is based on the ontology model of product-service and a type of IoT message standard, Open Messagi ...
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the combined roles via trust relationships of the two technology cores of the firm: information technology (IT) and R& D and their impact on new product success. Design/methodology/approach - A model wa ...
