Special Issue on:

Assessing Product Lifecycle Design and Engineering within International Standards: from Theory to Industrial Applications

http://www.inderscience.com/info/ingeneral/cfplist.php?jcode=ijplm

This special issue aims at exploring the recent advances in the application of product design and engineering tools to make the firms able for an effective and efficient product development, prototyping and production within International Standards compulsory requirements.

We solicit original scientific contributions with sound experimental, real research and industrial case studies. We invite also research contributions, including case studies, on all aspects of assessment of product lifecycle design and engineering.

Subject Coverage

Issues to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

·     Product Lifecycle Analysis within standards evolution

·     State of art related to product compliance standards (e.g. CE labeling)

·     Product architectures and platforms for standards compliance

·     Platform and modularity engineering methodologies

·     Concurrent Engineering practices in product development for standards compliance

·     Product Design and Engineering within Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) compliance

·     Product development process analysis and assessment under standards constraints

·     Quality Management in Product Development

·     Lifecycle analysis cases and approaches within ISO 14040 norms

·     Environmental Standards and/or Safety Standards as constraints in Product Development and Product Lifecycle Management

All submissions will be evaluated for novelty, significance, and soundness. Papers should clearly state the purpose, theory, methodology, results, possible socio-economic implications of the study, and be fully referenced with appropriate international citations.

Notes for Prospective Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process.
