The current conception, marketing, and widespread use of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are, in many aspects, considerably misaligned with the imperative sustainability needs we are facing. The massive increase in their production and consumption, coupled with their rapid disposal, is creating a problem of potentially catastrophic dimensions, both in resource management and waste handling. While the ...
Introdução: Os resultados apresentados neste texto são fruto de uma investigação sobre a aldeia portuguesa Reguengo do Fetal, o seu património cultural e a construção da sua identidade local. Esta aldeia, localizada no concelho da Batalha, é conhecida em Portugal pela Romaria em honra de Nossa Senhora do Fetal e pelas Procissões de Caracóis. Metodologia: A investigação baseou-se num trabalho de campo com observ...
This paper presents an application of computational simulation to a production problem on unrelated parallel machines and dependent setup times, aiming at the reduction of jobs’ total processing time (makespan). The scenarios studied by Rabadi, et al. (2014) were used, along with the SIMIO simulation software, to model and conduct experiments to study the impact of a set of sequencing rules. Based on the comput...
The increasingly standards of the electronic industry, especially in Printed Circuit Boards, make In-Circuit-Test Machines one of the most important systems on the production lines. With this, the pressure on the In-Circuit-Test Machines production to meet this strict requirements it is getting bigger every day. To react to this pressure it is necessary to update, in a technological point of view, the manufactu...
ABSTRACT: The evolution of design to meet the growing sustainability challenges has led to the development of knowledge expressed in different approaches, principles and strategies. To be able to operationalize this knowledge, several design for sustainability (DfS) tools have been created. However, these tools have not been the target of massive and systematic practical use by designers, nor have they been the...
Industry 4.0 (I4.0) presents a new era of production and process management, and in order for companies to take advantage of the benefits offered by this technological advancement, understanding how it can influence or be influenced by management approaches is a point of study. For this reason, this investigation aimed to analyze production and quality management approaches in order to identify synergies as wel...
ABSTRACT: Since the emergence of early approaches to design for the environment (such as green design or ecodesign), several tools have been developed to support the design process in the integration of environmental, social and, more recently in a comprehensive way, sustainability and circularity criteria. The vast quantity and diversity of tools have required the creation of ways to organize and classify them...
