X Abstract

This paper presents a methodology that incorporates simultaneous consideration of economic and environmental merit during the virtual prototyping phase of electronic product design. A model that allows optimization of a product life cycle, which includes primary assembly, disassembly, and secondary assembly using a mix of new and salvaged components, is described. Optimizing this particular life cycle scenario is important for products that are leased to customers or subject to product take-back laws. Monte Carlo simulation is used to account for uncertainty in the data, and demonstrates that high-level design and process decisions may be made with a few basic metrics and without highly specific data sets for every material and component used in a product. A web-based software tool has been developed that implements this methodology

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
