“…It applies mainly to durable products that are placed into service for some period of time and then retired or discarded. There are several automotive components that have potential for multiple life-cycles, such as clutches, brake shoes, engine block, starters, alternators, water pumps and carburettors [37,69]. Besides that, the remanufacturing of automotive products is an effective strategy to promote sustainability in the automotive industry because, compared to new products, remanufactured products only cost 50% of the cost for new products, utilise 60% of energy and 70% [70], Therefore, an engine was used as a case example in this study.…”

“…Therefore, a new design approach will be vital for this new design strategy.  To promote reuse of components  To ensure reliability of the multiple utilisation of component is not lower than the original requirements  To lead to savings in energy, production costs and volumes of virgin material in production DFA Design for Assembly [5,31]  To minimise the time required to reassemble the product  To prevent damage during part insertion DFD Design for Disassembly [5,36,37]  To minimise the time required to disassemble the product  For a complete disassembly DFU Design for Upgrade [38]  For upgrades particularly relevant to remanufacturing  For upgrading product functions to meet customers' requirements from time to time DFR Design for Durability [39]  To make sure components are robust enough to reuse DFMo Design for Modularity [26,40,41]  For ease of upgrading  For ease of serviceability  For ease of disassembly DFMa Design for Maintainability [41]  For enhanced serviceability  For ease of repairs and to provide longer life  To maintain quality of the product  To minimise disposal of non-working products However, the existing product design guidelines comprising eco-design requirements are still fragmented and not integrated to support the generation of a product for multiple life-cycles. It is now necessary to work at the interfaces of the various disciplines of Design for X (DFX) guidelines in order to address complex issues that are brought about by the requirements of multiple life-cycles.…”

Life-cycle thinking in the development of new products has led design engineers to rethink the way they design sustainable products. One of the most viable approaches is designing products for multiple life-cycles. For this purpose, a sustainable design tool that has a broader perspective in providing design guidelines to enhance end-of-life product recovery for multiple life-cycles is necessary. However, there are too many design requirements, some of which are conflicting. Designers are not supported by specific methodologies or tools to evaluate the weightage and importance of the design elements. Therefore, an extensive review of the design requirements of remanufacturable products was conducted in order to identify the design elements for multiple life-cycle products. A modified Analytical Hierarchy Process method was developed based on the design strategies in order to obtain the weightage that indicates the importance of each design element. The proposed approach is capable of refining and setting priorities in strategic decision-making during the design phase of a multiple life-cycle product. Verification of the strategic factors was based on an in-depth interview with an automobile engine remanufacturer. Based on the study, disassemblability and assemblability were found to be the two most important criteria in designing automobile engines for multiple lifecycles.

“…However, according to the result of a survey in (Amelia et al, 2009), the interest of Malaysian manufacturers in automotive reuse is not common; reuse is only for the aftermarket sales. The main factors that seemed to influence the perception of the local OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) towards reuse are: customer's perception on the quality of reused products, lack of knowledge and technology to develop reuse and lack of research and development program on reuse.…”

Problem statement: It is expected that over the next few years type approval legislation and public awareness will force vehicle manufacturers to identify recovery methods during the design process in order to achieve reuse and recycling targets. Current vehicle design in Malaysia does not sufficiently aid the economic recovery of parts and materials to reach these targets. Approach: This study aimed to provide a framework for automotive components to be designed for ease of recovery. Disassemblability concept evolved from the life cycle engineering concept in which design for disassembly is one of the strategies in reducing the impact of the product to the environment. Results: The proposed methodology that consisted of three distinct elements namely implementing principles and guidelines of design for disassembly into the design, generating optimum disassembly using genetic algorithm approach and evaluating disassemblability of end-of-life products will be discussed. Conclusion/Recommendations: There is a need for effective disassembly in order to enhance the recovery of end-of-life product.The proposed methodology was implemented as a computer-based disassemblability evaluation tool that will enhance disassemblability of the product starting from the design stage.

AbstractGrowth of global sales of new trucks in emerging economies is substantial however, in China the growth of sales is expected to be only 1% for 2014-2024. The limited sales growth forecast and an intense market competition make it imperative for truck manufacturers in China to diversify their revenue earnings through service-based business models for the Chinese market.Typically, Chinese service based business model need to be sustainable by considering environmental and social factors in the manufacturer's business model. This paper reviews existing product-service systems (PSS) and service-based business models in the automotive sector to identify how truck manufacturers could reorient their current business model with respect to the Chinese context to enhance customer satisfaction, profitability and sustainability.The analysis indicates that most of the studies in the automotive sector have focused on product-oriented or use-oriented business models with respect to car segment specifically in the developed markets. Besides, sustainability issues related to vehicle end-of-life management are rarely considered. Our findings suggest that the Chinese truck sector needs an integrated result-oriented PSS business models which could be implemented in other developing countries.
