Life Cycle Modelling for Innovative Products and Processes. Proceedings

The aim of the conference PROLAMAT95 on "Life Cycle Modelling for Innovative Products and Processes" was to present, discuss and summarize requirements and solutions for sustain- able product development and manufacturing processes. The employment of information technology to support the development of new strategies will be the main focus. This volume contains the papers presented at the conference which provide opportunities to identify the state-of-the-art and address future requirements. A variety of branches with their specific products and manufacturing processes were the basis for intensive discussions. The relationships between aims for sustainability, structures, outsourcing and globalization are important parameters for novel product development and manufacturing strategies. The link to standardization will be emphasised.
