Replacement Trend of New Mobile Products under Product Life Cycle Model

Dynamic pricing of remanufacturable products under demand substitution: a product life cycle model

We consider a manufacturer who sells both the new and remanufactured versions of a product over its life cycle. The manufacturer’s profit depends crucially on her ability to synchronize product returns with the sales of the remanufactured product. This gives rise to a challenging dynamic optimization problem where the size of both the market and the user pool are dynamic and their current value...

Geometrical product specifications - model for product life cycle

As technology increases and performance requirements continually tighten, the cost and required precision of assemblies increase as well. There exists a strong need for increased attention to tolerance design to enable high-precision assemblies to be manufactured at lower cost. For automotive and aircraft industries, the tolerancing process has become an important issue in product and process d...

Trend-reverting fluctuations in the life-cycle model

An EPQ Model for Product Life Cycle (Maturity Stage) with Deteriorating Items and Shortages

  A product life cycle is the life span of a product in which the period begins with the initial product specification and ends with the withdrawal from the market of both the product and its support. A product life cycle can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue generated by the product. This study investigates inventory control policies in a manufacturing system for a si...

Re-use of Product Model through Life-cycle Stages

This paper discusses the requirements on product model presentations that are suitable for reuse. The aim is to define promising directions for future research by recognizing how the characteristics of reuse entities vary at the different stages of the product life-cycle. Reuse entities are roughly categorized into three types of presentation entities: macroscopic principles for the early stage...
