Component Reuse in Remanufacturing Across Multiple Product Generations

Product recovery policies in stochastic remanufacturing systems with multiple reuse options

In many product recovery situations returned products can be reused in multiple ways. Under these circumstances the problem arises in which quantities reusable items should be allocated to the different remanufacturtng options, especially in case of insufficient stock of returns. For this problem a pertodic review model Is formulated which also includes a disposal option and incorporates uncert...

Implementing Product-Line Features with Component Reuse

In this paper, we show how the maturation of several technologies for product-line analysis and component design, implementation and customization provides an interesting basis for systematic product-line development. Independent work in the largely separate reuse ("domain analysis") and object-oriented ("code and design") communities has reached the point where integration and rationalization ...

Does new product growth accelerate across technology generations?

The academic literature on the growth acceleration of new products presents a paradox. On the one hand, the diffusion literature concludes that more recently introduced products show faster diffusion than older ones. On the other hand, technology generation literature argues that growth rate, at least as measured by diffusion parameters, remains constant across generations. We resolve this appa...

Grandparental effects in marine sticklebacks: transgenerational plasticity across multiple generations.

Nongenetic inheritance mechanisms such as transgenerational plasticity (TGP) can buffer populations against rapid environmental change such as ocean warming. Yet, little is known about how long these effects persist and whether they are cumulative over generations. Here, we tested for adaptive TGP in response to simulated ocean warming across parental and grandparental generations of marine sti...
