This book reports on the latest research and applications in the fields of sustainable
manufacturing and remanufacturing as well as process planning and optimization technologies.
It introduces innovative algorithms methodologies industrial case studies and applications.
It focuses on two topics: sustainable manufacturing for machining technologies and
remanufacturing of waste electronic equipment and various methods are covered for each one
including macro process planning dynamic scheduling selective disassembly planning and
cloud-based disassembly planning. The experimental analysis provided for every method explains
the benefits as well as how they are sustainable for various real-world applications. Further
a theoretical analysis and algorithm design is presented for each accompanied by the
contributors' relevant research including: . step-by-step guides . application scenarios .
relevant literature surveys . implementation details and case studies and . critical reviews
on the relevant technologies. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in sustainable
manufacturing remanufacturing and product lifecycle management communities as well as
practicing engineers and decision-makers in industry and all those interested in sustainable
product development. It is also useful reading material for postgraduates and academics wanting
to conduct relevant research and a reference resource for manufacturing engineers developing
innovative tools and methodologies.
