Abstract
Enhancing reusability by extending a product’s life and improving its functions by means of frequent model changes creates a contradictory issue in implementing reuse scenarios that reduce the environmental load in closed-loop manufacturing. This paper proposes a concept of module-based model change planning as a solution to this problem. In the paper, a method of identifying relationships between customer satisfaction and modules based on conjoint analysis and a QFD method is proposed first. Then a procedure for generating a module-based model change plan, which creates the minimum environmental load, is discussed. The proposed method is applied to copying machines as an illustrative example.
