Combination of end-of-life strategies for extension of industrial equipment life cycle

Bashkite V., Moseichuk V., Karaulova T.

Journal of Machine Engineering

2010

Vol. 10, No. 4

76--88

As many manufacturing companies are changing their production philosophies from a traditional focus on the manufacturing of the physical product towards a focus on the life cycle of the physical product, it is becoming important to engineer product's life cycle. Even more, many industrial researchers of the last decade see product's life cycle prolonging activities as a business opportunity both in economical and environmental ways. As a result, more focus is now put on the use phase and end-of-life phase, including maintenance and remanufacturing. The analysis of current end-of-life practices identifies significant improvements to product design that reduce the impact of manufactured goods on the environment as whole. Life cycle engineering and product take-back is a routine for many large industries and corporations nowadays, but, it is still a big challenge for a small and medium companies. In context of end-of-life strategies implementation, there is a very little experience for smaller firms, and results are often controversial. This paper will touch material processing equipment end-of-life strategies combination perspectives, real-life implementation of them, benefits and consequences. The case study is made on a basis of a lorry that will be transferred into spoil mixing plant.

Green manufacturing in machinery industry

Bashkite V., Moseichuk V., Karaulova T.

Journal of Machine Engineering

2009

Vol. 9, No. 4

Green manufacturing cuts across every aspect of manufacturing including product development, process technologies, energy consumption and material flow. Becoming green can be viewed as a process where we start using more eco-friendly manufacturing resources that have low embedded energy and come from renewable resources. Green Manufacturing covers the whole life cycle of product, from requirements specification, design, manufacturing, and maintenance to final discarding. Green design is the most significant part of product's life cycle. Term "green" means that design should consider the product's impact on the environment and causes minimal pollution. This term includes such important approaches as design for the environment (DFE), design for disassembly (DFD), and design for recycling (DFR). Manufacturers can think about the end-of-life approaches across a wide range of products they use in production processes, for example, different machines, machine-tools, material handling equipment, cranes, etc. The analysis of current end-of-life practices identifies significant improvements to product design that reduce the impact of manufactured goods on the environment as whole. The scope of this paper is to describe possible product's end-of-life strategies on the basis of material handling equipment case study.
