Research on a Product Information Management System Facing Remanufacture Engineering

Remanufacture Engineering is an important characteristic and development trend of a manufacturing system in the 21st Century, and product information management is very important to Remanufacture Engineering. In this paper, we first compared traditional manufacturing and remanufacturing. Then, according to the features of Remanufacture Engineering, we analyzed the request of product information management system facing Remanufacture Engineering, and designed the system module. Finally, we built a kind of system structure of product information management facing Remanufacture Engineering and gave realization methods based on Web.

Developing remanufacturing engineering,constructing cycle economy and building saving-oriented society

In the course of creating immense wealth, manufacturing industry has excessively consumed the resources and energy in the earth, and seriously polluted the environment. To take progress as the sustainable development way, save resource and improve environment, our nation has been advocating to construct the cycle economy and saving-oriented society. Taking the remanufacturing engineering as the representative, the “4R” rule (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Remanufacture) is the important measure to get the goal. Remanufacturing engineering is the industrialization of high-tech maintenance of the waste and worn productions, and is one of the most active factors in “4R”. The development of high and new technology takes the important effect to promote the remanufacturing engineering.

Innovation on Remanufacturing Engineering Management——Striving for Sustainable Development

The historic Treaty of Paris passed at the 21st UN Climate Change Conference on 12 December,2015 makes a commitment to control global warming within 2℃.Data released by the Global Carbon Project showed that the goal of controlling global warming within 2℃ may be achieved only if CO2 emissions controlled must be less than 3.2 trillion tons.Since entering the era of industrialization,around 2 trillion tons of CO2 have been emitted

Managing Coordination Complexity in the Remanufacturing of Aircraft Engines

The complexity of communication and coordination stemming from teams responsible for adjusting interdependent parameters of components is a fundamental feature in the aircraft engine remanufacturing engineering project. To manage coordination complexity, the features of the remanufacturing process of aircraft engine are analyzed and a systematic method is presented to measure and optimize the dependency between coupled components.Furthermore, quantitative models are built based on Design Structure Matrix(DSM) models to measure dependency strengths related to the parameter features of the components. Also, a two-stage DSM clustering criteria is used to reduce the complexity of an organization. An industrial example is provided to illustrate the proposed models. The results showed that the proposed approach can reduce total coordination complexity.
