Evolving Design for Assembly, Disassembly and Reassembly into a new paradigm
Design-for-Capabilities with Hybrid Decision Support as an enabler for circular products
Abstract
Circularity is particularly high when material cycles are closed at the highest possible level. The scope for the circular use of assemblies and individual parts is designed in product engineering and limited through capabilities in the later life of the product. In this article, capability-oriented product engineering (Design-for-Capabilities/DeCap) is developed as a new paradigm that extends the approaches of Design for Assembly, Disassembly and Reassembly (DfADR), taking human capabilities into account. Based on literature analysis and topic related preliminary work, requirements are derived in five categories and the DeCap approach is described. Approaches from Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, which enable the hybrid decision support required for DeCap in product creation, play a central role here. DeCap is validated and discussed using the example of a model helicopter. The application of this paradigm should enable product engineering to design products with a concurrent view to reassembly-oriented disassembly and to specifically incorporate human capabilities in the process.
