Modular Grouping Exploration to design Remanufacturable Products
One of the challenges of this decade is to rationalize the consumption of global resources while increasing economic activity. Remanufacturing is an option to this challenge; however this end of life strategy must be optimized. The information collected from a franking machine manufacturer, which has set up a refurbishment activity of its machines, has allowed us to qualify remanufacturing as a...
متن کاملA Multi-agent Approach to Collaborative Design of Modular Products
Concurrent Engineering (CE) has become a very popular term while complex product markets are demanding the ability to deliver a high variety of customized products quickly and globally. One of the CE issues has been centered on the way in which the knowledge of the functions such as manufacturing, logistics, marketing, and sales, is captured and managed. To be easily communicated and shared, ta...
متن کاملDesign of assembly systems for modular products
To respond to the challenge of agile manufacturing, companies are striving to provide a large variety of products at a low cost. Product modularity allows to produce different products by combining standard components. One of the characteristics of modular products is that they share the same assembly operations for a part of their structure. The special structure of modular products provides c...
متن کاملDo Modular Products Lead to Modular Organizations?
The tacit assumption that increased product modularity is associated with advantageous increases in organizational modularity underlies much of the literature on modularity. Previous empirical investigations of this assumption, few in number, have faced numerous confounding factors and generated conflicting results. I build a causal model for the relationship between product and organizational ...
متن کاملThe Perception of Grouping Boundaries in Music
Some of the most fundamental questions in the study of music perception concern the manner in which the human perceptual system groups musical elements together. In this paper, we examine the grouping of musical elements into contiguous segments that occur sequentially in time or, to put it another way, the identification of boundaries between the final element of one segment and the first elem...
