AbstractThe paper proposes a decomposition method for evaluating the performance of transfer lines where machines can fail in multiple modes and can be repaired with non-exponential times. Indeed,...
View ArticleA decomposition method for approximate evaluation of continuous flow...
AbstractIn this paper, a decomposition method for evaluating the performance of continuous flow lines with machines characterized by general Markovian fluid models and finite capacity buffers is...
View ArticleAnalytical evaluation of the output variability in production systems with...
AbstractPerformance evaluation models are used by companies to design, adapt, manage and control their production systems. In the literature, most of the effort has been dedicated to the development of...
View ArticleAn Onto-Based Interoperability Framework for the Connection of PLM and...
AbstractThis paper proposes a model-driven interoperability framework as a technical support of co-evolution strategy of product structure and production systems with a frugal innovation perspective....
View ArticleModularization in material flow simulation for managing production releases...
AbstractRemanufacturing is recognized as a major circular economy option to recover and upgrade functions from post-use products. However, the inefficiencies associated with operations, mainly due to...
View ArticleIntegrated Technological Solutions for Zero Waste Recycling of Printed...
AbstractThe demand for key metals for the production of high-tech products is constantly growing in Europe, leading to relevant problems both in terms of supply risks and costs. Waste from Electric and...
View ArticleHighly Evolvable E-waste Recycling Technologies and Systems
AbstractMaterials recycling is a key process to close the loop of materials in the direction of circular economy. However, the variability of waste and the high volatility of the price of recovered...
View ArticleLead Time Analysis of Manufacturing Systems with Time-Driven Rework Operations
AbstractProducts whose quality features deteriorate with the time they spend in the manufacturing system are common in industry. Usually, they are perishable products that loose their performance or...
View ArticleDisassembly of Large Composite-Rich Installations
AbstractConsidering the demanufacturing of large infrastructures (as wind blades and aircrafts) rich in composite materials, the most impacting step in terms of costs is disassembly. Different routes...
View ArticleIntroduction, Context, and Motivations of a Circular Economy for Composite...
AbstractCircular Economy is an emerging production-consumption paradigm showing the potential to recover and re-use functions and materials from post-use, end-of-life, products. Even if several...
View ArticleImpact of Policy Actions on the Deployment of the Circular Value-Chain for...
AbstractThe effect of legislation on composites recycling can be both a driving force, such as in the case of End-of-Life Vehicle legislation, that is making it mandatory to reuse the materials used in...
View ArticleSmart Composite Mechanical Demanufacturing Processes
AbstractRecycling of Glass Fibers Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) can be preferentially performed through mechanical processes due to the low cost of virgin fibers. Because of the poorer mechanical...
View ArticleThe FiberEUse Demand-Driven, Cross-Sectorial, Circular Economy Approach
AbstractComposite materials are widely used in several industrial sectors such as wind energy, aeronautics, automotive, construction, boating, sports equipment, furniture and design. The ongoing...
View ArticleReconfiguration of Quality Gates Based on Part Variation Modes in Multi-stage...
AbstractThe growing production of high-tech, high-value products in strategic European sectors blended with the perception of zero-defect manufacturing (ZDM) set a premium on defect management...
