The present paper discusses Life Cycle Simulation (LCS) as a new approach for supporting
the design of Product–Service Systems. The increased relevance of the life cycle …

To realize environmental sustainability, the flow of natural resources into industrial systems
must be reduced and stabilized at a suitable level. One way to reduce resource flows in …

End-of-life products are taken back constrainedly by the laws and disassembled to a mass of
reusable parts. Design for reusing these taken-back parts into new products has more …

Durable equipment requires regular maintenance throughout the lifecycle to achieve the
expected performance and reliability under acceptable maintenance costs. This paper …

Product life cycle design has gained increasing interest in recent years due to growing
concerns about environmental problems. In general, there exist significant uncertainties (eg …

Nowadays, manufacturers are increasingly impelled in adopting Circular Economy (CE)
strategies and consistently adequating their business models to more environment-oriented …

The objective of this study is to seek a pattern language in the domain of eco-business
design. A pattern language is first proposed in the field of architecture. By using patterns as …

This paper proposes a life cycle simulation technique to analyze multiple-objective
performances of supply chains of products in a competitive market. This approach …

Sustainable business design has gained growing interest recently. However, it is often
difficult to clarify which business activities actually contribute to (or harm) the sustainability of …
