“…The business benefits of integrating life cycle considerations and transitioning from a single product to a product service system perspective have also been discussed [6][7][8]. As for the operational part there is an increasing number of publications linking LCA to product development and management processes and coupling environmental assessments with intelligence systems for effective product life cycle management and decision support towards sustainability [9][10][11][12][13]. However, to invest and effectively uptake tools and services that support LCA integration to daily operations, the business case needs to be proved to the decision makers.…”

“…For example, consider an easy-to-use lifecycle model, with three phasesbeginning-of-life (BOL), middle-of-life (MOL), and endof-life (EOL) -introduced, for example, in Kiritsis et al [35]. We also use this model as a higher level context; however, these lifecycle phases are quite general and do not accurately reflect to the goals of the phase.…”

To be able to find answers for challenging research questions about the universe, advanced machinery in major research institutions -e.g. accelerator complexes -is needed. In such expensive research facilities, which generate ionizing radiation, it is necessary to protect people, infrastructure and the environment from harm. To meet functional safety requirements, machinery shall fulfil high safety standards throughout its life. This paper aims to propose a methodology for preserving the functional safety of the equipment already in operation and the maintenance phase of the lifecycle. A methodology is proposed to enable better integration of information from practice into design requirements for modifications, such as upgrades and retrofits. The method is based on existing functional safety standards. The goal is to increase the operational time while preserving performance at the intended level.

“…The use of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags have been studied by Kiritsis et al [33] and Parlikad and McFarlane [34] to offer effortless access for the retrieval, updating, and management of information involved in the product life cycle. The effect of using RFID in ameliorating the quality uncertainty associated with remanufacturing processes has been examined by Kulkarni et al [35], who made use of an application of RFIDs where active RFIDs were used for easy identification and localization of components within a remanufacturing facility, while passive RFIDs, on the other hand, were permanently tagged onto components of remanufacturable products at the beginning of their service life, which was reported by Ferrer et al [36].…”

Sensor embedded products utilize sensors implanted into products during their production process. Sensors are useful in predicting the best warranty policy and warranty period to offer a customer for remanufactured components and products. The conditions and remaining lives of components and products can be estimated prior to offering a warranty based on the data provided by the sensors. This helps reduce the number of claims during warranty periods, determines the right preventive maintenance (PM) policy, and eliminates unnecessary costs inflicted on the remanufacturer. The renewing, one-dimensional Free Replacement Warranty (FRW), Pro-Rata Warranty (PRW), and combination FRW/PRW policies' costs for remanufactured products and components were evaluated with/without offering PM for different periods in this paper. To that end, the effect of offering renewable, one-dimensional, Free Replacement Warranty (FRW), or Pro-Rata Warranty (PRW), or combination FRW/PRW warranty policies for each disassembled component and sensor embedded remanufactured product was examined, and the impact of sensor embedded products on warranty costs was assessed. A case study and varying simulation scenarios is examined and presented to illustrate the model's applicability.
