Even if the economy nowadays is still locked into a linear model of production, tighter environmental standards, resource scarcity and changing consumer expectations are forcing organizations to find alternatives to lighten their impacts. The concept of Circular Economy (CE) is to an increasing extent treated as a solution to this series of challenges. That said, the multitude of approaches and definitions around CE and Life Cycle Extension Strategies (LCES) makes it difficult to provide (Small and Medium Enterprise) SMEs with a consistent understanding of the topic. This paper aims at bridging this gap by providing a systematic literature review of the most prominent papers related to the CE and lifetime extension, with a particular focus on the equipment and machinery sector. A taxonomy was used to define and cluster a subset of selected papers to build a homogeneous approach for understanding the multiple strategies used in the industry, and the standards in maintenance and remanufacturing strategies. As a final research step, we also propose a Strategy Characterization Framework (SCF) to build the ground for the selection of the best strategy to be applied for production equipment life cycle extension on several industrial use cases.

“…The NSGA-II algorithm was developed to achieve Pareto non-dominated solutions of the model. Based on predecessors' attention to standardization work to simply product line, Yin et al [31] put forward a model to quantitatively evaluate the degree of standardization, which further enriched the content of product line optimization research.…”

In the era of mass customization, designing optimal products is one of the most critical decision-making for a company to stay competitive. More and more customers like customized products, which will bring challenges to the product line design and the production. If a company adopts consumers' favorite levels, this may lead to lower product reliability, or incompatibility among the components that make up the product. Moreover, it is worth outsourcing certain attribute levels so as to reduce production cost, but customers may dislike these levels because of their delivery delay. If managers consider the compatibility issue, the quality issue, outsource determination, and the delivery due date in the product design and production stages, it will avoid unreasonable product configuration and many unnecessary expenses, thereby bringing benefits to the company. To solve this complicated problem, we establish a nonlinear programming model to maximize a metric about profit, termed as Per-capita-contribution Margin considering Reliability Penalty (PMRP). Since the integrated product line design and production problem is NP-hard, we propose an improved Discrete Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (DICA) that can find a most powerful imperialist (i.e., solution) by the competition among all countries in the world. The proposed DICA is compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) through extensive numerical experiment, and the results show that DICA has more attractive performance than GA and SA.

In order to further improve the versatility and serialization of the expansion keypad for ships, this paper details the design and implementation of a universal expansion keypad based on GD32, a microcontroller developed by a Chinese company, through hardware design, software design, universalization design and standardization design. The extended keypad designed in this paper can be applied to the current mainstream ship display consoles to further improve the versatility of the extended keypad. When different types of ships use customised extension keypads, only minor changes to the generic extension keypad are required to realise the corresponding functions, which greatly reduces the time and effort required for redesign and improves the versatility of the extension keypad.
