Needs and Benefits - 1
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:6
Needs and Benefits - 2
• Design for reusability (Technology)• Better quality - ease of reuse• Bookkeeping and control over effect of
- Design- Materials- Manufacturing- Use

Needs and Benefits - 3
Costs are reduced because:
• Consistent guidelines are established for all mechanics
• When the part can and cannot be reused• Forms the basis for a quality control program
that lowers redo & warranty costs
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:8
Elements - 1
• New Product Design
• Developing guidelines- e.g. small project:reusability limitations and
salvage procedures for a shaft or a gear- e.g. Large project: reusability limitations and
salvage procedures for all the piece parts in a family of components such as a turbocharger
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:9
Elements - 2
• Defining the project- grouping
• Setting priorities- Costs of parts/ components- Field population- Wear or failure rate

Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:10
Element - 3
• Define reusable- Life? (80 % -100 %)- Used only on the same machine?- Risk of failure?- Fatigue life?
• Remaining failure is often impossible
to determine
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:11
Limits
• Approximate reusable limits• Salvaging options• Second life probability
- Laboratory tests- Field tests- Historical data
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:12
Implementation - 1
• Measuring• Inspection tools
- Visual, transducers, machine optics• Applications
- severity factor
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:13
Implementation - 2
• Failure analysis
- Credibility of guidelines- Standardizing failure interpretation- Improves service quality- Sells more parts and service
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:14
Evaluation
• Maintain historical data on
- Repair- Performance- Life- Failure modes and effects- Correlation with product batch

Example: Motor Reuse - 1• Today’s automobiles carry up to 100 electric
motors• There are two brushless and two stepping motors
and one or two brushless fan motors in a laptop
computer.• It is estimated for an average North American
household to have 60-80 electric motors, without
accounting for automobiles.

Example: Motor Reuse - 2
• Commutator motors mainly consist of steel, copper, and plastics. These materials cannot be easily separated at end of life.
• Revenues of only some $22 per ton or $0.02 per motor (1998).

Example: Motor Reuse - 3
Reuse Potential
• Not compromise product quality• Meet functional requirements of new
motors• Need a thorough understanding of used
motors’ failure mechanisms and causes
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:18
Example: Motor Reuse - 4
Assessment of the Reuse Potential
• Need information on the degradation of the motors
• Approaches to assess reuse potential- Testing parameters after product return- Recording parameters during product use
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:19
Example: Motor Reuse - 5
Testing parameters after product return
• Requires the identification of parameters that indicates degree of degradation (e.g., noise, torque.
• Shortcoming:- Long time required for testing- High labor cost- Hard to identify the parameters that
reliably shows the degree of degradation
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:20
Example: Motor Reuse - 6
Recording parameters during product use
• The temperature of certain spots on the motor
• The number of starts and stops of the motor• The accumulated runtime of the motor• The power consumption
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:21
Example: Motor Reuse - 7
Changes in Design
• Introduce one electronic data log (EDL), which records the history of the product’s usage and shows the degradation of the product when product is recovered.
• Design for disassembly to allow the old motor to be removed intact.
Environmentally Conscious Design & Manufacturing (ME592)
Date: April 19, 2000 Slide:22
Example: Motor Reuse - 8
EDL records and analyzes the following data
• The number of starts and stops of the motor• The accumulated runtime of the motor• Motor temperature and the power
consumption• Peak and average values of all parameters of
interest

Example: Motor Reuse - 9
Economic efficiency
• Additional cost incurred by EDL • Return rate
- Depends on consumers’ willing etc.• Recovery rate
- Determined by the return rate of old products and the yield in the product recovery stage

• Less resources used• Resources diverted from waste
stream• Savings in cost
