Abstract

As consumers and governments prioritize cost-effectiveness and ecological sustainability, the limitations of traditional manufacturing paradigms become apparent in the context of constrained resources. The adverse effects of these paradigms on the environment and society hinder the achievement of a sustainable product life cycle. Intelligent manufacturing processes offer a solution by efficiently gathering meaningful data, such as usage and product recycling information, from previous product generations to enhance product design and subsequent sustainable manufacturing processes (SMPs). Modular product family architecture (PFA) design holds promise in promoting product sustainability and addressing diverse consumer needs. PFA design and SMPs are inherently interconnected within intelligent manufacturing frameworks. This paper aims to integrate the decision-making processes underlying PFA with SMPs. We model integrated PFA and SMP decisions as a Stackelberg game, which involves hierarchical joint optimization (HJO) for assessing product modularity and sustainable manufacturing fulfillment. We develop a bilevel 0–1 integer nonlinear programming model to represent the HJO decision-making process and propose a nested genetic algorithm (NGA) to solve the HJO problem. A case study with a laptop is conducted to validate the feasibility and potential of the proposed HJO model for joint optimization problems in PFA design and SMPs.
