In recent years, the utilization of artificial intelligence-based approaches has rapidly grown
in the manufacturing sectors. Disassembly sequence planning is an important combinatorial …

Parts with complex geometry have been divided into multiple parts due to manufacturing
constraints of conventional manufacturing. However, since additive manufacturing (AM) is …

In order to improve the efficiency of disassembly and product recovery of an abandoned
product at the end-of-life stage, it is essential to develop modular product architecture by …

As a typical, discrete, and NP-hard problem, assembly sequence planning (ASP) has direct
impact on assembly quality and costs. So far, lots of graph-based and meta-heuristic …

Public bidding for the information and communication technology (ICT) products offers an
external regulatory perspective to identify endogenous risks of ICT supply chain. Owing to …

Accepted: 8 October 2019 Sustainability is an important consideration in product design.
The sustainable design should fully consider the environmental, social, and economic …

Quality of a product is a function of many variables. These have been identified, and
modeled in terms of quality digraph. The nodes in the digraph represent the quality features …

Modularity plays an important role in managing complex systems by dividing them into a set
of modules that are interdependent within and independent across the modules. In response …

This paper presents a new approach for searching the most favourable mechanical
assembly sequence. The proposed method is described and its basic modules are …

Adaptive reuse embodies a significant transition in the evolution of urban landscapes,
representing a paradigm shift from industrial or obsolete uses to vibrant, sustainable, and …
