“…In addition, a number of researchers have investigated a range of factors such as the economical, technical, environmental and social criteria, which influence the EoL options [10][11][12][13][14]. There are also a number of studies exploring the use of existing and novel production planning and control approaches for coordination of product recovery operations on the shop floor [15][16][17][18].…”

A web-based information system to support end-of-life product recovery. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 218 (9), pp. [1047][1048][1049][1050][1051][1052][1053][1054][1055][1056][1057] Additional Information:• This is an article from the journal, Proceedings of the IMechE, Part B: Abstract: Increased public awareness towards global environmental problems has forced manufacturing companies to consider the negative impacts of their activities on the environment. In this context, the effective management of products at the end of their useful life has become of paramount importance due to the ever-increasing national and international legislation and directives aimed at making take-back and recovery of used products obligatory for the original equipment manufacturer. This highlights a need for a systematic approach for enhancement of information, business and production management systems to deal with additional activities and processes related to the recovery of products. The research reported in this paper has developed a five-stage methodology to support product end-of-life management within manufacturing companies. The modelling and design of appropriate product recovery information systems, which constitute the main core of this methodology, are also described. The paper concludes with the description of an application of this methodology and information system design for the recovery of cutting tools at the end of their useful life in metalworking applications.

Evaluating the performance of recoverable end-of-life products with respect to a set of specific criteria is challenging. This is due to multi-dimensional nature of the decision making process, multiple evaluation criteria, and subjective and imprecise assessments. To effectively deal with this issue, this paper presents a multicriteria decision making method for evaluating the performance of recoverable end-of-life products in the reverse supply chain. The multi-dimensional nature of the performance evaluation process is handled in the context of multicriteria analysis. Linguistic terms approximated by triangular fuzzy numbers are used to tackle the subjectiveness and imprecision of the performance evaluation process. A new algorithm is developed for producing an overall performance index for every recoverable end-of-life product alternative across all performance evaluation criteria. A recoverable end-of-life products' performance evaluation problem is presented for demonstrating the applicability of the method.

“…• Management of product end-of-life and recycling are critical issues in environment treatment for manufacturing enterprises so they should be considered in product lifecycle design (Bufardi et al, 2003;Ueda et al, 2005). The task « To consider the recycling issues» needs knowledge about the possibilities of recycling the materials used.…”
