“…For this purpose, some researchers investigated the flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. For example, Francalanza et al [15] proposed a framework to support the 'Product Family' manufacturing system designer. Bryan et al [16] introduced a method for the concurrent design of a product family and a reconfigurable manufacturing systems.…”

With increasingly stringent environmental regulations on emission standards, enterprises and investigators are looking for effective ways to decrease GHG emission from products. As an important method for reducing GHG emission of products, low-carbon product family design has attracted more and more attention. Existing research, related to low-carbon product family design, did not take into account remanufactured products. Nowadays, it is popular to launch remanufactured products for environmental benefit and meeting customer needs. On the one hand, the design of remanufactured products is influenced by product family design. On the other hand, the launch of remanufactured products may cannibalize the sale of new products. Thus, the design of remanufactured products should be considered together with the product family design for obtaining the maximum profit and reducing the GHG emission as soon as possible. The purpose of this paper is to present an optimization model to concurrently determine product family design, remanufactured products planning and remanufacturing parameters selection with consideration of the customer preference, the total profit of a company and the total GHG emission from production. A genetic algorithm is applied to solve the optimization problem. The proposed method can help decision-makers to simultaneously determine the design of a product family and remanufactured products with a better trade-off between profit and environmental impact. Finally, a case study is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.

Manufacturing comprises an effective and efficient integration of automation tools and advanced technologies for the industrial production. Automation is an advanced technique used in the manufacturing industry for integrating the machine tools to automatically perform different tasks. This paper presents the study about industrial automation and manufacturing system. The research and development in the area of automation includes programmable logic control (PLC), robotics, distributed control system (DCS), computerized numerical control machine (CNC), radio frequency identification (RFID). The intelligent systems for scheduling and manufacturing the product such as flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), lean manufacturing and green manufacturing.
