an implementation of the life cycle model built on the simulation framework for
designing cyber physical production systems (Komoto et al. 2019), using AnyLogic
(The AnyLogic Company 2019).
In Sect. 25.4, the summary and outlook of this study are described.
25.2 Stakeholder Interactions in Product Life Cycle
This section summarizes analysis of the life cycle of small electric and electrical
equipment such as mobile phones and smart phones. The focus of the analysis is
on the flows of product-related information, which will be organized in terms of
stakeholders as sources and targets of product-related information flows generated
in a variety of the product life cycle stages.
25.2.1 Product Life Cycle Stages
In order to organize product-related information flows, the study introduces the division of a life cycle of electric and electrical equipment into the following seven life
cycle stages.
• Design
• Manufacturing
• Sales
• Usage (incl. repair)
• Collection
• Recycling
• Refinement.
25.2.2 Stakeholders
The study assumes that the stakeholders involved in the life cycle of electric and
electrical equipment belong to one of the following stakeholder types with specific
roles.
• Manufacturer
• Carrier (or new products)
• Retailer
• User
• Repairer
• Local municipality
• Collector (of retired products)
