Remanufacturing and Advanced Machining
7. Life cycle costing and profit approach assumes that the optimum cost
of procurement will ensure the effective performance of a machine tool
without sacrificing quality and performance. Estimation and prediction of life cycle cost and management of machine tools are helpful in
decision-making.
8. Preventive structuring approach is based on product design. During the
early design stage, an engineer can weigh the possibility of effects caused
by a combination of chosen technologies on processing accuracy.
9. Tool and equipment management approach that involves machining process monitoring and tool wear detection.
10. Technical product service system.
11. Real-time monitoring approach which is achieved by incorporation of
sensors for monitoring of machine availability and quality of machining
processes.
12. Green cutting technology can be obtained by proper selection of cutting
fluids and their right application, thus enhancing machine tool life and
sustainability.
13. Remanufacturing approach can improve eco-friendliness of manufacturing and reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources.
14. Modeling approach which combines the life cycle assessment and the
design of experiments (DoE).
15. Multi-criteria decision approach that considers various economic, environmental, and social indicators but also takes into account the recovery
process of material after its end of life.
Further improvement of a product’s sustainability can be achieved through the life
cycle gap analysis (Dieterle and Viere, 2021). It is a specific technique to interpret
LCA results from a circular economy (CE) perspective. Technically, the product’s
life cycle gap (LCG) describes the difference between the environmental impacts of
a product’s initial manufacturing and its environmental value after recycling. This
approach measures and visualizes the distance between the vision of CE aimed at
the closed loop of a product’s material and energy flows and the status quo, without
ignoring the shifting of burdens from one life-cycle stage to another. The authors
suggest integration of social assessments into LCGA is another promising future
research strategy.
In this respect, it is very interesting to pay attention to a relatively rare study on
potential cultural, social, or personal implications of the repair and circular economy conducted by McLaren et al. (2020). The authors emphasize that in circular
economy literature, repair and restoration are typically understood as good tools
to extend product life spans and reduce waste, while sociological repair literature
reveals its contrasting understanding in terms of reconciliation and reconfiguration.
The instrumental and technocratic view of repair diverges from that found in sociological, ethnographic, and political studies examining repair and maintenance of
material objects and infrastructures, which suggest a broad diversity of intentions,
