Originally formulated in the context of biological studies, the Life cycle (LC) concept was and now has become widely adopted as a framework for the interpretation and evaluation of phenomena that are subject to, and bound by the inevitability of change. The application of the LC concept to the development of industrial products is an important element in the administration of technological innovation. On this basis, therefore, it is referred to as the product life cycle (PLC). The concept of the PLC is used to support decision making in the management of product development. It may also be used in corporate strategy development, as well as the planning of activities and can be adapted to focus on technology deployment.

Sustainability Performance

The paper presents a framework for the assessment of mass customization and sustainability performance of enterprises and supply chains. The assessment includes the product, process, enterprise and supply chain levels while considering the product life cycle phases. This two perspectives approach ensures a quite complete assessment and provides guidance to designers and managers during the decision making process. The framework construction and use methods are depicted in the current paper.

Total Impact

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to estimate a product’s environmental impact. Using LCA during the earlier stages of design may produce erroneous results since information available on the product’s lifecycle is typically incomplete at these stages. The resulting uncertainty must be accounted for in the decision-making process. This paper proposes a method for estimating the environmental impact of a product’s life cycle and the associated degree of uncertainty of that impact using information generated during the design process. Total impact is estimated based on aggregation of individual product life cycle processes impacts. Uncertainty estimation is based on assessing the mismatch between the information required and the information available about the product life cycle in each uncertainty category, as well as their integration. The method is evaluated using pre-defined scenarios with varying uncertainty.

Abstract This research introduces a new distributed database and knowledge base modeling approach for concurrent design. The data of product life-cycle aspects are modeled by primitives called features. The knowledge for developing products is described by collections of rules called rule-bases. Databases and knowledge bases at different locations for modeling different life-cycle aspects of the same product are associated by Internet. In addition, mechanisms for maintaining dependency relations of the product data at different locations and reasoning using the knowledge at different locations are also developed.
