The overall aim of the EU funded project ELIMA is to enable eco-efficient management and acquisition of product life cycle data by closing the information loop in different phases of product life cycle including design, manufacture, distribution, use, service-support, maintenance, and end-of-life product recovery. Information systems that can integrate information about products from all stages...

  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

--Product Service Systems (PSS) is a concept which means product and service are integrated to meet customer requirements. It has many applications in several industries. In current researches, Product Life Cycle Modelling and Service Engineering (SE) are main methodologies to design and model PSS. This paper proposes a framework of service life cycle integrating product life cycle. Each stage ...

Growing concern for the environment has spurred interest in environmentally conscious design and manufacturing. The concept of Design for the Life Cycle encompasses all aspects of a product's life cycle from initial conceptual design, through normal product use, to the eventual disposal of the product.
