Abstract Accurately determining when and what to remanufacture is essential for maximizing the lifecycle value of industrial equipment. However, existing approaches face three significant limitations: (1) reliance on predefined mathematical models that often fail to capture equipment-specific degradation, (2) offline optimization methods that assume access to future data, and (3) the absence of component-level guidance. To address these challenges, we propose a data-driven framework for component-level decision-making. The framework leverages streaming sensor data to predict the remaining useful life (RUL) without relying on mathematical models, employs an online optimization algorithm suitable for practical settings, and, through More >

Abstract This study delves into the formation dynamics of alliances within a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) that encompasses a manufacturer, a retailer, and an e-commerce platform. It leverages Stackelberg game for this exploration, contrasting the equilibrium outcomes of a non-alliance model with those of three differentiated alliance models. The non-alliance model acts as a crucial benchmark, enabling the evaluation of the motivations for various supply chain entities to engage in alliance formations. Our analysis is centered on identifying the most effective alliance strategies and establishing a coordination within these partnerships. We thoroughly investigate the consequences of… More >

Abstract The growing number of decarbonization standards in the transportation sector has resulted in an increase in demand for electric cars. Renewable energy sources have the ability to bring the fossil fuel age to an end. Electrochemical storage devices, particularly lithium-ion batteries, are critical for this transition’s success. This is owing to a combination of favorable characteristics such as high energy density and minimal self-discharge. Given the environmental degradation caused by hazardous wastes and the scarcity of some resources, recycling used lithium-ion batteries has significant economic and practical importance. Many efforts have been undertaken in recent… More >
