Proposal of a model for Life Cycle Optimization of industrial equipment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pressure of emergent countries, policy makers and industrial companies’ interests are pushing European companies towards a high consideration of whole product life cycle. Designers and systems engineers are the main actors involved, due to their high influence on product life cycle costs and environmental impacts since early design phase. The aim of the paper is to propose an integrated, structured and robust model, completed by methods / techniques, to support and help the activity of designers and engineers to create and identify the optimal life cycle oriented solution. © 2014 The Authors.

Optimal pricing and ordering policies for perishable products under advance-cash-credit payment scheme
Recently, market globalization and competition have forced companies to find alternative means to boost sales and revenue. The use of the cash flow is increasingly becoming a viable alternative for managers to improve their company’s profitability in a supply chain. In today’s business transactions, a supplier usually asks a manufacturer to pay via the advance-cash-credit (ACC) payment scheme i...
متن کاملIntegrated Competitive Pricing and Transshipment Problem for Short Life Cycle Products’ Supply Chain
This paper integrates competitive pricing and network design problems for the short life cycle products. The pricing problem determines selling prices of the products for different life cycle phases in a competitive market, as well as acquisition management of returned products. Besides, the selling and acquisition prices are related to the distance between distribution centers and customers. T...
متن کاملOptimization of thermal curing cycle for a large epoxy model
Heat generation in an exothermic reaction during the curing process and low thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin produces high peak temperature and temperature gradients which result in internal and residual stresses, especially in large epoxy samples. In this paper, an optimization algorithm was developed and applied to predict the thermal cure cycle to minimize the temperature peak and the...

A set of technical, administrative and management activities are done in the life cycle of equipment, to be located in good condition and have proper and expected functioning. This is refers to be, maintenance management system (MMS). The framework and models of assessment in order to enhance effectiveness of a MMS could be proposed in two categories: qualitative and quantitative. In this resea...
متن کاملThe optimum pressure for working fluid in feed water heaters of steam power plants
The aim of this study is to find the optimal water pressure and percentage of supply vapour in the feed water heaters (fwhs) of steam power plants, such that they maximize the thermal efficiency of the Rankine cycle within pre-specified values of minimum and maximum pressures of the thermodynamic cycle. Thermal efficiency is defined as a function of unknown variables (fluid pressure and vap...
