The product architecture has a significant influence on all phases of the product life cycle.
Many literature sources claim modular product design offers a large range of advantages for …

The objectives of this research are to identify the research trends in and publication outlets
for the applications of the fuzzy set theory technique in production and operations …

Abstract Design concept evaluation is one of the most important phases in the early stages
of the design process as it not only significantly affects the later stages of the design process …

Product architecture is typically established in the early stages of the product development
(PD) cycle. Depending on the type of architecture selected, product design, manufacturing …

This study aims at improving the quality and effectiveness of concept evaluation in the early
phases of new product development. New product concept evaluation has long been …

The paper accounts for an Activity-Based Costing (ABC) analysis supporting decision-
making concerning product modularity. The ABC analysis carried out is communicated to …

Modular prefabrication of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems has become
more prevalent during the last decade with the growth of the prefabricated construction …

This paper proposes a new method to address a three-dimensional concurrent engineering
(3D-CE) approach. It uses a Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) model integrated …

Abstract Design for Upgradability (DfU) is one of remanufacturing strategies that extend the
product lifetime through the functional enrichment of the product. Multiple Life Cycle …

Prefabrication is often considered as a potential solution to address the challenges of
building construction in remote communities. However, methods to find the best …
