“…Perhaps a more comprehensive definition of product lifecycle management is the one offered by Razvan Udroiu who views it as "a business strategy for managing the entire lifecycle of products. This strategy includes the management of conception, design, design validation and simulation, prototyping, manufacturing, quality control, use, maintenance and disposal of products, having integrated people, methods, CAx tools, processes, documentation, and data management solutions" [10]. The import of this definition is that product life cycle management can be seen from two different angles; traditional and modern perspectives.…”

The chapter seeks to discuss and describe the concept of product from the marketing perspective, how companies come about new product, product development options, and the various strategies available to a company to manage new and existing products. It is a conceptual paper which reviews relevant literatures from various sources. In essence, the proposed chapter will be divided into three main sections. Section 1 will introduce the concept of product, its meaning, and core components from the marketing point of view. It will also contain discussion on the various connotations of the term product, what constitute a new product, and new product adoption. Section 2 will dwell on the options available to a company on how to come up with new products including mergers, acquisition, and licensing, franchising, and proactive new product development. It will also explain the two product development strategies that companies adopt in the market place. The last section will discuss the product management strategies available to a firm either from the product life cycle way or the individual product management strategies or both. At the end, conclusions and the general context of the paper are drawn.

A Novel Polymer Concrete Composite with GFRP Waste: Applications, Morphology, and Porosity Characterization

et al. 2020

Composite materials reinforced with recycled fibers gather a great deal of interest with regards to construction applications. A novel polymer concrete composite was proposed, comprised of a surface layer and a structural composite reinforced with recycled glass fibers. The novel multi-material composite included a large amount of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) waste (30%), which is expected to help protect the environment. Large panels comprised of this polymer concrete composite, which reproduce the appearance of natural stone, were manufactured. A new methodology for porosity analysis of a large panel comprised of a multi-material composite was proposed, utilizing three-dimensional (3D) X-ray computed tomography (CT). The volume of pores was distributed between the constituent composite materials and then statistically analyzed. Homogeneous distribution of the pores within the novel multi-material composite was found. The observed mean porosities of the composite panel were 0.146% for the surface layer material and 31.3% for the structural composite material. The mean density of the panel, determined by the CT density method, was 1.73 g/cm 3 . The composite materials porosity provides a favorable effect for achieving lightweight structures. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, it was observed that a good connection interface between the constituent composite materials existed. possible recycling solutions regarding waste management of composite based products. At present, the main conventional recycling techniques for glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) waste materials include incineration, thermal or chemical recycling, and mechanical recycling [1][2][3]. Mechanical recycling through grinding and milling processes is one of the most used techniques; additionally, due to the size reduction of the fibrous products, the recycling process itself does not contribute to atmospheric pollution and much simpler equipment is required as compared to other methods. From this process, the resulting fibers can then be incorporated into new composite materials.Within the construction field, polymeric composite materials are widely used (e.g., polymeric concrete composites), in which many industrial waste materials can be used as aggregates. One of the most commonly used aggregates for polymeric concretes is glass, which can be utilized in many different ways: glass fibers [4], glass dust, and inorganic waste in the form of coarse aggregates [5]. Polymer concretes produced with recycled materials and polyester resins provide aesthetic and structural benefits, as shown in a number of research studies [6,7]. GFRP waste materials incorporated into a polymer matrix are already used within many building materials, having the potential to reduce the environmental footprint of the materials used. Additional constituents of particulates in the polymeric matrix can be in the form of silica sand, calcium carbonate, mica, white cement, gypsum, perlite, or others [8,9]. The use of these materials enables the produ...
