Sustainability Factors Affecting the Implementation of Design for Dis-Assembly and Re-Manufacturing Principles in the Automobile Sector Using ISM

Abstract

With the automobile sector pacing the tracks among their competitors to lead the market and adopting eco-friendly technologies, a much economic and vital field of making use of the manufactured product beyond its useful life span is widely neglected. This paper throws light on the necessity for implementing and highlights the various reasons for which these guidelines have not come to the attention of the responsible organizations including law making agencies, automobile manufacturers and as well the consumers. An interpretive structural modelling analysis is made to point out ten driving factors in consultation with various experts from the relevant fields and the results provide guidance to how far the idea of design for dis-assembly and re-manufacturing has sought the world for the sustainability of the automobile manufacturers in the industry, for the days to come.

Product sustainable design information model for remanufacturing

“…Limit the selection of design variables and describe the correlation between variables. It isn't easy to quantify the designer's utility function in the process of active remanufacturing design [4]. We generally use design satisfaction (i.e., how close the conflicting solution is to the optimal solution) to characterize it.…”

Blockchain technology: a catalyst for reverse logistics of the automobile industry

“…The absence of interconnection and visibility of information throughout the automobile RL network is one of the major concerns with these technologies. For example, rising industrialization and the multitude of intermediaries between the client and the automotive manufacturer have lengthened the reverse supply chain network, resulting in a loss of visibility into product sources (Hafiz et al, 2022;Gupta et al, 2020). Since the automobile RL involves several individual partners such as consumers, authorized dealers, distributors, manufacturers, and raw material suppliers, good information flow management between the participants with the appropriate openness and trustworthiness is vital (Son et al, 2021).…”
