Re-make of Sheet Metal Parts of End of Life Vehicles - Research on Product Life-Cycle Management

Abstract

Abstract. Today it can be accepted as fact that mankind is running out and will soon have shortages of energy, row materials and water. Sustainable development (or more often used sustainability) means to use as little materials, energy and water as possible. Material saving causes energy and water saving as well. Product Life Cycle Management (PLCM) of any kind of product starts when the idea of a product is born and lasts until complete dismissal through steps as detailed design, assembly design, part manufacturing, assembly, testing, diagnostics and operation, advertisement, service, maintenance, etc. Then finally our topics, namely dismantling/ disassembly and dismissal are coming. Dismissal often can be substituted by re-cycling or re-use, or re-make.
