Definition Of

The life cycle management of navy vessels quality is presented, and the quality of various phases in the navy vessels life cycle is academically described. On the management of phase quality, taking shipbuilding as an example, the definition of the phase quality is provided, requirements of comprehensive quality management are discussed, which include the total-staff participation, the whole process of management, comprehensive approach and concept of quality. On the integrated quality management of the navy vessels life cycle, the mode that staffs participating in the various stages of life cycle, and integrated requirements of ship design, modeling & simulation environment are proposed. Technical support and realization of the quality management of navy vessels life cycle are presented, which has laid the foundation for the realization of the quality management of navy vessel.

In product generation management, the assessment for sustainability, together with risks potential, requires a holistic life cycle management approach, especially when it comes to the question of obsolete management of components. But, so far, the economic impact or benefit of such life cycle related activities is not always obvious. This paper presents a complex approach to identify company unexploited resources by offering the performance exploration of a novel capability and innovative tool named the LifecYcle-Managerial Index Tool (LY-MIT), in order to allow detailed visualization for a company, using seven clustered capabilities in respect to key areas. The assisted analysis of the strength and weakness enables manufacturers, as well as industrial end-users, to sustainably assess and evaluate the productivity potentials and risks of possible life cycle related improvements to their installed base. The research team used the tool on almost 300 sample companies group to identify the robustness of the tool in implementing sustainable change required measurements, mostly based on a self-assessment questionnaire about their capabilities. Only the approach and the results of this instrument usage are presented in this paper.

Material Choice

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.

New nuclear plant technology will rely heavily, if not exclusively, on digital equipment. Obsolescence of digital instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment is an inevitable part of plant technology life cycle for new and existing plants. Developing an overall strategic plan can mitigate some of the risks associated with obsolescence. Moreover, when developed as a part of an overall life cycle management plan (LCMP), a strategic obsolescence management approach can identify steps that can be taken at early stages of the technology life cycle to cope proactively with the obsolescence of equipment. Recent work within the advanced nuclear technology (ANT) program at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) (O’Connor et al., 2014, “Advanced Nuclear Technology: Guidance and Methodologies for Managing Digital Instrumentation and Control Obsolescence,” EPRI, Palo Alto, CA, Product ID 3002002852) has developed guidance and methodologies for determining when digital obsolescence is likely to occur, the extent to which it can occur, the risks and impacts due to obsolescence, and strategies that can be used to minimize its effects, all in the context of system LCMP. Worksheets for assessing obsolescence risks and the applicability and limitations of management strategies were developed as a part of this work, and can be used to create or supplement a strategic obsolescence management plan.

Property life cycle management is exposed to greater changes under impact of new BIM technologies and increasing demand for environmental approach. Many new technologies which BIM comprises, such as laser scanning, augmented reality, automate construction, distant access, renewable energy sources, affect management issues of project management leading to higher efficiency and environment protection via using greater cost predictability, improved schedule, optimized design, better coordination, and reduced energy and water consumption. Property life cycle management using BIM methods has priority over traditional management approach at each project stage, which generally leads to the extension of the life cycle and the construction of buildings with more environmentally friendly characteristics. The BIM management process affects all project parties. The article offers a special table which indicates changes for each participant: investor, developer, bank, designer, construction contractor, broker, tenant, project team, and re-conception team. Despite some controversial issues, like high costs and advanced skills of project participants, BIM management will be used by more developers, bringing economical and environmental efficiency for prolonged property life cycle.
