Abstract

There are different approaches to modelling the products at the End of Life (EOL), including closed loop approach, the ladder of lansink and material flow. The sustainability principles and the complexity of the products may affect the choice of modelling type. The life cycle costs, several subsystems and the interaction between design features, construction, technology, suppliers and legislation affect the degree of complexity of the products. Hence, developing appropriate strategies are required for modelling EOL phase of the complex products. This article presents strategies for modelling EOL phase of complex products considering sustainability tools, EOL phase models and the characteristics of these products. An ingenerated approach is proposed to address the four essential aspects of the complex product at the EOL: operational, tactical, strategic and sustainability. The case of aircraft at the EOL is presented to highlight the application of the proposed approach.
