“…A cloud platform is an integrated cyber-physical system that provides on-demand digital and physical services by offering a shared pool of resources like software, facilities and capabilities (Wang and Wang, 2017). For EEE, cloud technology could support reuse, remanufacture and recycle of WEEE by setting up a platform where all the data of individual EEE at all life cycle stages can be maintained in an integrated and shared way (Vincent Wang et al, 2015). Only 6 studies addressed Big Data in the EEE industry.…”

“…In recently, for the sustainable management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), the cloud service is extended to the WEEE recovery and recycling context [51]. A cloud-based WEEE system is developed to provide modularized recovery services on the cloud, and a data management system and product tracking mechanism were developed to manage and trace the knowledge of product lifecycle, respectively.…”

A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t N o t C o p y e d i t e dDownloaded From: http://manufacturingscience.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/ on 06/07/2015 Terms of Use: http://asme.org/terms Abstract: Large, complex, expensive and long-lived equipment often operate in harsh environments, which leads to the requirements of lifecycle Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO). To support the continuous improvement of productivity and to reduce the cost of MRO, this paper developed a cloud-based framework for lean MRO of the equipment with the aforementioned characteristics. A concept and a model of lean MRO are proposed. Taking advantage of cloud-based design and manufacturing into account, an architectural framework of cloud-based MRO is proposed. A case of a lean MRO for continuous casting equipment demonstrates that the proposed cloud-based framework can achieve the goal of lean MRO of complex equipment.

“…They proposed that using quick response coding systems along with the sharing-data-enabled infrastructure of the cloud can fill the gaps in remanufacturing operations. Similarly, Ijomah et al [11] put forward a cloud-based system for e-waste recovery and recycling. Their approach is the same as that of Xia's, such that the manufacturing and design stage information of the product (e.g., BoL information) should be provided by the manufacturers.…”

“…Even though previous studies have discussed the importance of collecting life cycle data and the necessity of having an information system for EoU recovery, the full implication of product life cycle data has not yet been investigated in the literature. The cloud-based remanufacturing infrastructure proposed in previous studies [11] requires consumers who willingly report the usage information of their product, as well as its EoU status. Nevertheless, the willingness of consumers to participate in recovery management programs seems dubious in the current webbased recovery systems.…”

The profitability of electronic waste (e-waste) recovery operations is quite challenging due to various sources of uncertainties in the quantity, quality, and timing of returns originating from consumers' behavior. The cloud-based remanufacturing concept, data collection, and information tracking technologies seem promising solutions toward the proper collection and recovery of product life cycle data under uncertainty. A comprehensive model that takes every aspect of recovery systems into account will help policy makers perform better decisions over a planning horizon. The objective of this study is to develop an agent based simulation (ABS) framework to model the overall product take-back and recovery system based on the product identity data available through cloud-based remanufacturing infrastructure. Sociodemographic properties of the consumers, attributes of the take-back programs, specific characteristics of the recovery process, and product life cycle information have all been considered to capture the optimum buy-back price (bbp) proposed for a product with the aim of controlling the timing and quality of incoming used products to collection sites for recovery. A numerical example of an electronic product take-back system and a simulation-based optimization are provided to illustrate the application of the model.
