“…Furthermore, the use of product characteristics has been investigated before to improve design-for-recovery efforts [18,19], and they could potentially be further refined as design criteria. Almoslehy and Alkatani [20] note that the design process has a significant impact on the maintainability and recyclability of complex products. However, it is the feedback from the realities of recovery efforts flowing back to designers that is currently lacking.…”

Challenges to the Circular Economy: Recovering Wastes from Simple versus Complex Products

The circular economy re-interprets the recovery of materials by promoting designing out waste from products, retaining materials for reuse, and emphasizing key elements universally accepted for sustainability. The current efforts to target, isolate, and reduce single-use items, particularly plastics, have only recently begun in earnest. Unfortunately, the recovery and recycling of materials have been disrupted by global market uncertainty, and recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic and its impacts complicate materials recovery, the core of the circular economy still depends on efficiently capturing and returning spent materials for production. Arguably, our perception and common understanding of the recovery process is influenced significantly by the recycling of simple consumer products, such as plastic bags and beverage bottles. However, there are greater difficulties when managing multiple materials from significantly more complex consumer products, for example, from end-of-life vehicles. This paper presents an overview of how waste recovery-related issues vary between simple versus complex consumer products. Using food packaging, tires, cell phones, furniture, and end-of-life vehicles as examples, this paper provides a commentary on the challenges facing complex product recovery compared to simple consumer products in the Canadian context in order to establish how this classification concept can be beneficial for describing a given product and its materials recovery prospects. A categorization framework is developed and applied to these case study products to provide a relative comparison of product complexity.

“…2.1 Production: Operational managers are responsible for allocating available resources from each department to the entire company to achieve efficient and profitable operations (Almoslehy and Alkahtani, 2021). The fundamental role of operations management in a company is the transformational role in converting raw materials and other inputs into services and finished products (Chang, Chang, and Yu, 2021).…”

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate how to apply lean manufacturing, which is necessary to eliminate waste, reduce cost, and improve efficiency in the production process to maintain the survival and growth of a company under the current trend of business competition. The relationship between production, marketing, human resources, development, finance, and the technology of manufacturing is not found in the literature, and it is the origin of this study to connect the two. The primary purpose of this study is to apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process to examine the critical factors of operational success in the research direction of production, sales, human resources, development, and financial components of precision manufacturing. In the initial step, after the literature study and surveys with experts in operation management and operation of lean manufacturing companies, the scientific management principles of production, sales, people, development, and finance were used to set up the five major categories and 20 subcomponents of this study. In the following step, the empirical results of the expert surveys, having applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process to the results, show that "people" is the essential component. According to the assessment components, the top 8 key components were "Voice of Customer (VOC)," "Organizational Planning," "Talent Development," "Quality," "Lean Management Training," "Lean Strategic Deployment," "New Product Launch," and "Succession Training." After evaluation, this research has verified the prioritization of five critical success components out of the original eight initial components derived for applying Lean Manufacturing (LM) operations as VOC, Organizational planning, Talent development, Quality, and Lean management capability training being the key to the company's application of LM.

“…Implementing a reconfigurable manufacturing system, integrating new resources and components, and adopting flexible and agile production methods are essential for companies to cope with crises, prolong manufacturing system lifecycles, and achieve sustainable development [7]. Agility can be a solution for sustainable design, as it offers a more open, accessible, and reconfigurable control system to deal with unpredictable market and enterprise changes [8,9]. From a management perspective, agility means planning and executing work in a way that incorporates changes as a critical part of the process [10].…”

The importance of sustainable design for achieving sustainable development goals (SDG) has become increasingly prevalent. Agility for sustainable design development is a project management approach that aims to provide a flexible and efficient way of developing new products. However, the application of agility for sustainable design development is not well-defined, with unknown processes and benefits. To address this, this study aims to explore the benefits of theoretical research and the application of agility in sustainable design. The study critically examines the application of agility in sustainable design development through a literature review. The results identify eight integration directions of agility that contribute to sustainable design, providing a better understanding of agility and enabling its implementation in the development of new products. This study seeks to create a more coherent and rigorous system of theory and practice for sustainable design.
