Abstract
At the millennium turnover, the ecology globalisation shows the impeding threats of over-depletion/pollution: the sustainable growth requires supply-chain visibility, resource bookkeeping and renovation planning. The changeover is planned to be enabled enforcing the enterprise responsibility of the extended artefacts, having lifecycle liability, i.e., from ideation and manufacturing, to operation, disposal and recovery of the delivered products-services. In the lifecycle specification/analysis, the basic design (global plan, detailed design, assembly, etc.) is followed by manufacturing, assembly, testing, diagnostics and operation, advertising, maintenance, etc.; then, disassembly and disposal are scheduled, requiring reclamation and recovery, by re-cycling (material reprocessing) or re-using (part refurbishing). The present paper provides pilot clues for understanding the product-process agendas, using the TYPUS metrics and the KILT model, developed by the authors, in previous works.
