Abstract: Industry 5.0 arises as a logical advance of Industry 4.0 to enhance the values that were being gradually abandoned due to the rapid technological advancement. These values focus on the human being, the sustainability and the continuity of the industrial system become the main objectives to be maintained during the development of the new smart industry model. These objectives allow the design of work environments within Industry 5.0 that ensure the adaptation of workers to technologies of Industry 4.0, in a sustainable way and that strengthen a resilient industrial system. In the present work the use of Value Sensitive Design (VSD) methodology for the redesign of manufacturing workplace in accordance with the values established by the Industry 5.0 is proposed. In this process, the VSD tripartite methodology allows to maintain the values of Industry 5.0 throughout the design process. Moreover, the integration of this methodology with the Axiomatic Design (AD) allows to achieve specific design parameters that meet the needs of the different stakeholders. The application of this model seeks the development of symbiotic work environments, in which workers increase their different physical, sensory and cognitive abilities with advanced technologies. The design of a work environment following the proposed model promotes a social smart industrial environment in which the safety and health of workers is ensured.

Abstract: The obtaining of information concerning the processability by injection of plastics could facilitate a better design of injection manufacturing processes of parts made of such materials. With this aim in view, equipment for testing the processability by injection of plastics was designed. On the other hand, there are known the possibilities of using the axiomatic design principles to solve equipment or various design activities problems. Within this paper, an evaluation of the complying with the requests of the axiomatic design by the designed equipment was developed. The axiom of independence of the functional requirements necessary to be achieved by the equipment was applied. The analysis allowed the formulation of some remarks concerning the fulfillment of some principles of axiomatic design by the constructive solution proposed for the equipment for testing the processability by injection of plastics.

Abstract: The research approach presented in the paper targets the integration of some advanced engineering principles, methods and instruments for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of Product Design activities. In order to reduce the product development resources consumption, to improve the product functionality, reliability and flexibility and to reduce the product lifecycle environmental impact, all of these being considered as instruments for improving Product Sustainability, some conceptual models for integrating advanced Product Design theories and principles such as Holistic Design and Axiomatic Design, together with the use of some advanced CAD/CAE tools are discussed in the paper. As case study, the paper submits to discussion the problem of enhancing the design activities for the development of a technical solution of a device adaptable on an electrical discharge machine-tool and being able to generate cycloid profiles based on a double-planetary mechanism driving. The research approach on integrating the principles of axiomatic design within activities of the design model structuring, the decomposition rules have been mainly targeted to be applied. The presented case study refers also to the performance of using advanced capabilities of Solid Edge as CAD solution which provides dynamic generation of the product model structure and to those of its embedded module entitled Engineering Reference, as valuable CAE instrument. Some adequate conclusions are finally presented and some directions of further research development are identified, such as integrating also an economic efficiency analysis and a Life Cycle Impact Assessment approach as Concurrent Engineering activities, to enhance the new product development sustainability.

Abstract: One of the complexity metrics that contribute towards determination of the overall complexity of supply chains is based on so called static complexity. In this article, we firstly present an architectural framework for supply chain networks. Subsequently, selected complexity indicators based on Axiomatic Design theory and Boltzmann entropy are applied. The indicators used are benchmarked based on computational experiments. Finally, relevant conclusions are formulated.

Abstract: Application of axiomatic design (AD) for the purpose of enhancing end-of-life recovery potential of a product has been the main focus of this paper. To demonstrate the usage of AD in this particular area, a case study that involves keypad assemblies of mobile phones is presented. The functional requirements (FR) of the two assemblies were defined differently (only Handset 2 involves refurbishment-related FRs). Using evaluation approach presented by Kwak and Kim (2010), it can be observed that when recovery-related requirements are omitted, application of AD produces a keypad assembly that fulfills the FRs derived from customer needs with more complicated product architecture. In contrast, when recovery-related FRs are included during problem definition using axiomatic approach, the disassemblability of the resulted keypad is improved and thus increasing recovery potential in the event of replacing defective keypad, while satisfying product-related FRs.

Abstract: Based on the basic knowledge of reconfigurable manufacturing system and axiomatic design, this paper designed the reconfigurable manufacturing system through two axioms (independence axiom and information axiom) of axiomatic design. In the application of independence axiom, the general goal was decomposed into four levels and each decomposition was accomplished by four steps with their respective design equations. And then the corresponding functional structure table in summary is listed. While in the application of information axiom, the information content of system was calculated under the circumstances of uncoupled design and quasi-coupled design. Finally, the problems and their corresponding solutions of the two axioms of axiomatic design were put forward.

Abstract: Reconfigurable manufacturing system is be decomposed in this paper, and the case of non-coupling and the case of quasi-coupled are be selected, the axiomatic design is be used in reconfigurable manufacturing system. Put forward the concept that X is the operator, and give a new concept of and.Reconfigurable manufacturing systems are be split and be reorganized accordingly by using axiomatic design innovatively: According to the demand of market, the whole manufacturing system is be split into a combination of some of the features of manufacturing systems; combine some of the features to form the entire manufacturing system.

Abstract: To achieve sustainable product realization, three essential areas namely end-of-line management, green supply chain and sustainable manufacturing have to be considered during the design/development phase. A framework for product realization (presented as objective-mean hierarchy) is proposed in this paper with the help of decomposition-based approach to serve as a guideline for product development companies/firms to improve their environmental strategies by prescribing the key areas and necessary considerations to be scrutinized.

Abstract: In a technological system, the design has to be thought so that all the possible faults to be mitigated or avoided both in conceptual design and embodiment design phases. This is an ideal point of view because in reality the faults are present and sometimes it is a cumbersome task to find all the possible events and their causes. As a way to help these this paper presents the possibility to use the axiomatic design FR-DP decomposition in order to define the events from a Fault Tree Analyze, its construction, a combination of these two giving results that can be interesting for both methods.

Abstract: the paper proposes an axiomatic design view of orientation schemes used in fixture design, in context of using the axiomatic design rules and guidance to fixture design. In this paper the axiomatic design, matrix and rules are applied to orientation schemes in order to see what kind of designs result (uncoupled, decoupled) and how can be applied the information axiom to choose among the orientation schemes that one (s) that are best suited for the declared purposes-minimum orientation errors.
