This paper proposes a new approach to decision making and institutional design for product lifecycle management based on social systems engineering.
The resources and services virtualization without barriers (RESERVOIR) project [58] adopted a virtual entity lifecycle management approach based on service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Furthermore, PSS lifecycle models are based on top-down approach, which are not always suitable from an engineering point of view.
Traditional designing processes have certain shortcomings as they are most often based on one value, identified using deterministic methods, while flexible approach to design enables adopting infrastructure to the changing conditions occurring during its lifecycle.
The developed concepts for information integration in production plant lifecycles are presented based on this, and demonstrated with a model plant for bottling, commissioning, and recycling.
Main approaches are based on lifecycle assessment, with focus on the production phase of construction materials.
Based on lifecycle total cost analysis, the optimum insulation thickness is determined.
The return of consumers from invest in efficiency was analyzed based on lifecycle cost saving of the improved models.
To comprehensively assess fractionated spacecraft, an assessment tool is developed based on lifecycle simulation under uncertainty driven by modular evolutionary stochastic models.
It discusses the importance of identifying and understanding the relevant cost factors associated with wind power systems, based on lifecycle costing and using relevant performance measures to help select a cost-effective maintenance approach.
