Functional Thinking for Value Creation
After the IPS2 conferences in Cranfield and Linköping in 2009 and 2010 the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 takes place in Braunschweig, Germany. IPS2 itself is defined as “an integrated industrial product and service offering that delivers value in use”. The customers expect comprehensive solutions, which are adapted to their individual needs. IPS2 offers the possibility to stand out from competition and for long-term customer loyalty. Particularly in times of economic crisis it becomes apparent which producing companies understand to satisfy the needs and requirements of their customers. Especially in this relatively new domain IPS2 it will be important to keep track of the whole context and to seek cooperation with other research fields and disciplines. The 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 serves as a platform for such collaborations and the discussion of new scientific ideas.
Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing
The 18th CIRP International Conference on Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) 2011 continues a long tradition of scientific meetings focusing on the exchange of industrial and academic knowledge and experiences in life cycle assessment, product development, sustainable manufacturing and end-of-life-management. The theme “Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing” addresses the need for engineers to develop solutions which have the potential to address global challenges by providing products, services and processes taking into account local capabilities and constraints to achieve an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable society in a global perspective. Glocalized ...
Environmental Assessment of Lightweight Electric Vehicles
This monograph adresses the challenge of the environmental assessment of leightweight electric vehicles. It poses the question whether the use of lightweight materials in electric vehicles can reduce the vehicles’ environmental impact and compares the environmental performance of a lightweight electric vehicle (LEV) to other types of vehicles. The topical approach focuses on methods from life cycle assessment (LCA), and the book concludes with a comprehensive concept on the environmental assessment of LEVs. The target audience primarily comprises LCA practitioners from research institutes and industry, but it may also be beneficial for graduate students specializing in the field of environmental assessment.
Ganzheitliches Life Cycle Management
Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten eines Life Cycle Managements, zur Umsetzung der Anforderungen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung in Unternehmen, sind Inhalt des Buchs. Ökonomische und ökologische Anforderungen erfordern die lebensphasenübergreifende Betrachtung von Produkten und Prozessen als zentrale Aufgabe in Unternehmen. Der Autor stellt einen Bezugsrahmen bereit, der die vielfältigen Aspekte eines Life Cycle Managements zugänglich macht. Dabei unterscheidet er zwischen lebensphasenbezogenen Disziplinen (Produkt-, Produktions-, After-Sales und End-of-Life Management) und lebensphasenübergreifenden Disziplinen (ökologische, ökonomische und soziale Lebenswegsanalyse sowie Prozess- und Informations- und Wissensmanagement). Neben einer Darstellung der Grundlagen werden Anwendungsbeispiele aufgezeigt. Das Buch wendet sich an Manager und Mitarbeiter in produzierenden Unternehmen, die Konzepte des Life Cycle Managements einführen wollen. Leser in der Entwicklung, Forschung und Lehre sowie fortgeschrittene Studierende erhalten neben den Grundlagen Einblicke in Möglichkeiten und Zusammenhänge eines Life Cycle Managements.
Leveraging Technology for a Sustainable World
The 19th CIRP Conference on Life Cycle Engineering continues a strong tradition of scientific meetings in the areas of sustainability and engineering within the community of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP). The focus of the conference is to review and discuss the current developments, technology improvements, and future research directions that will allow engineers to help create green businesses and industries that are both socially responsible and economically successful. The symposium covers a variety of relevant topics within life cycle engineering including Businesses and Organizations, Case Studies, End of Life Management, Life Cycle Design, Machine Tool Technologies for Sustainability, Manufacturing Processes, Manufacturing Systems, Methods and Tools for Sustainability, Social Sustainability, and Supply Chain Management.
Integration von ökologischen Lebenswegbewertungen in Fahrzeugentwicklungsprozesse
Florian Broch entwickelte ein Konzept, bei dem die lebenswegorientierte ökologische Produktbewertung in den Entwicklungsprozess eines Fahrzeugs integriert wird. Über alle Phasen der Entwicklung hinweg wird so eine effiziente und richtungssichere Bewertung und Verfolgung der Ökobilanz eines Fahrzeugs ermöglicht. Weiterhin bereitet der Autor die Ergebnisse der Ökobilanz zielgruppengerecht für eine Entscheidungsunterstützung in der Fahrzeugentwicklung auf. Zur Begegnung von Datenlücken in frühen Phasen der Entwicklung führt er unter anderem eine Prognose von Parameterwerten der Sachbilanz mit Methoden des Data Mining durch.
Sustainable Machining
This book provides an overview on current sustainable machining. Its chapters cover the concept in economic, social and environmental dimensions. It provides the reader with proper ways to handle several pollutants produced during the machining process. The book is useful on both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and it is of interest to all those working with manufacturing and machining technology.
New Mobilities Regimes in Art and Social Sciences
New Mobilities Regimes analyses how global mobilities are changing the world of today and the role of political and economic power. Bringing together essays by leading scholars and social scientists, including Mimi Sheller and Bülent Diken with the work of well-known artists and art theorists such as Jordan Crandall, Ursula Bieman, Gülsün Karamustafa and Dan Perjovschi this book is a unique document of the cross-disciplinary mobility and power discourse. The specific design, integrating the text and art elements to create a singular dialogue makes for an exciting intellectual and aesthetic experience. Illustrated by a range of studies which examine the regulation and structure of mobility...
