Market Positioning of Remanufactured Products With Optimal Planning for Part Upgrades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a market with rapid changes in technology and customer preferences, technological obsolescence of endoflife products poses a significant challenge to product recovery. Remanufacturing with optimal part upgrades can be ...
Modeling the Time Varying Advantages of a Remanufactured Product: Is “Reman†Better Than “Brand New�1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order for remanufacturers to succeed in the market, it is important for them to be capable of ensuring in advance that a product is suitable for remanufacturing and that a remanufactured product will provide greater ...
A Systematic Methodology Based on Word Embedding for Identifying the Relation Between Online Customer Reviews and Sales Rank
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the buying decision process, online reviews become an important source of information. They become the basis of evaluating alternatives before making purchase decision. This paper proposes a methodology to reveal one ...
Continuous Preference Trend Mining for Optimal Product Design With Multiple Profit Cycles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product and design analytics is emerging as a promising area for the analysis of largescale data and usage of the extracted knowledge for the design of optimal system. The continuous preference trend mining (CPTM) algorithm ...
Predictive Model Selection for Forecasting Product Returns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As awareness of environmental issues increases, the pressures from the public and policy makers have forced original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to consider remanufacturing as the key product design option. In order to ...
A Mixed Integer Linear Programing Formulation for Unrestricted Wind Farm Layout Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel mixed integer linear programing (MILP) formulation for finding the optimal layout of a fixed number of identical turbines that maximizes wind farm power generation. Previous MILP formulations ...
Finding Social Networks Among Online Reviewers for Customer Segmentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, online usergenerated data have emerged as a valuable source for industrial applications. In the consumer product area, many studies analyze online data and draw implications on product design. However, most of ...
Impact of Generational Commonality of Short Life Cycle Products in Manufacturing and Remanufacturing Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Short life cycle products are frequently replaced and discarded, even though they are resource-intensive products. Technological advances and rapid changes in demand have led manufacturers to develop their innovative ...
Optimization of Piping Supports and Supporting Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimization of piping supports is a well-known problem. The paper considers the optimization of piping supports with respect to cost and the loads transmitted to the supporting structural elements, when the orientation ...
Multiple Target Exploration Approach for Design Exploration Using a Swarm Intelligence and Clustering
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In engineering design problems, performance functions evaluate the quality of designs. Among the designs, some of them are classified as good designs if responses from performance functions satisfy a target point or range. ...
