    Towards a Reference Procedure for Designing and Modelling a PSS in the Automotive Industry

    AbstractNowadays, PSS lifecycle models are a crucial issue. The management of both the product and the service lifecycle together is recent: to date, there is no evidence of an accepted and operational combined lifecycle model. Furthermore, PSS lifecycle models are based on top-down approach, which are not always suitable from an engineering point of view. The aim of this paper is to propose a reference procedure, built on a bottom-up methodology, for the designing and modeling of PSSs and its lifecycles, applied to the automotive sector

    Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments versus End of Life Vehicles: a state of the art analysis and quantification of potential profits

    Full text link
    AbstractWaste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEEs) and End of Life Vehicles (ELVs) are two of the main waste streams, after municipal solid wastes, both in volumes and growth rates terms. Even if their management begins to be adequately regulated almost worldwide, there are still clear lacks to be solved in many aspects. The aim of this paper is the comparison, through a structured literature analysis, of these waste streams under several perspectives, by evidencing current differences and potential commonalities. In addition, a quantification of potential profits rising from a joined management of different sources of PCBs is described in the last part of the paper

    Proposal of a PLM standard for mass products

    This paper presents the semantic data model behind a newgeneration closed-loop PLM system. The model s able to fully address the requirements of a real-world closed-loop approach to PLM. In this approach, data on product instances, gathered from the field via smart embedded information devices, are used both to manage the lifecycle of existing product units, and to create, update and manage proper knowledge about the product, useful for the improvement of the future product generations. An exhaustive overview of the semantic model is carried out in order to describe how the model addresses the requirements cited above
