compost is a gradual process in nature by which organic materials are decomposed in the presence of air by microorganisms and fungi. the product is a valuable fertilizer that is used in different places even in home little gardens, so that it has signed as an unnoticed asset. with due attention to the importance of compost, its guidelines and standards should be evaluated. it is pointed and com...

Presently, the automotive industry is facing enormous pressure due to global competition and ever changing legislative, economic and customer demands. Product and process development in the automotive manufacturing industry is a challenging task for many reasons. Current product life cycle management (PLM) systems tend to be product-focussed. Though, information about processes and resources ar...

Structural and societal changes in process industry have lead to new requirements in process development, design and project management. The growing importance of health, safety and environmental aspects has increased the number of criteria considered in design. The decisions have to be made in a multicriteria environment considering uncertainty and the life-cycle point of view. Process industr...

Title of dissertation: DETERMINING OPTIMAL RELIABILITY TARGETS THROUGH ANALYSIS OF PRODUCT VALIDATION COST AND FIELD WARRANTY DATA Andre V. Kleyner, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Peter Sandborn, Mechanical Engineering Department This work develops a new methodology to minimize the life cycle cost of a product using the decision variables controlled by a reliabil...

I describe our approach and mechanisms to support the engineering of organiza tional processes throughout their life cycle I describe our current understanding of what activities are included in the process life cycle I then go on to describe our ap proach computational mechanisms and experiences in supporting many of these life cycle activities as well as compare it to other related e orts Alo...

  Over the years we have witnessed the growing importance of supply chain operations and supply chain management (SCM), as supply chains play a major role in every step of the product life cycle. Therefore, this paper will DEA-based performance evaluation approaches for overall supply chain can be categorized. Future perspectives and challenges are discussed

As functional (total care) products emerge in aerospace business agreements, theactual product ownership often remains with the manufacturer. The business risk isthen transferred to the manufacturer therefore downstream knowledge needs to beavailable during the concept phase to consider all product life cycle aspects. The aimof this work is to study how a multidisciplinary d...
