An Expert System for Sustainable Product Lifecycle Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
The international competitive market causes the increasing of shorten product life cycle and product development process with the improvement in term of time, cost and quality while increasing the waste generation. To reduce the waste generation, companies follow the environmental legislation and focus more and more on the product lifecycle sustainability. Sustainability on product lifecycle encourages in reducing wastes, saving resources and energy, reusing product and its component and avoiding of usage hazardous substances as well. Therefore, this research work is aimed to establish a Knowledge Management System (KMS) based on a Multi-Agent System and an Expert System in order to manage sustainability knowledge related to environmental security and performance through the link between Agents’ knowledge base and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. It will help the decision makers in each stage of the lifecycle and make them take into account the environmental impacts of their decisions. The proposed architecture will be illustrated on an industrial case study.
