SCENARIO-BASED EVALUATION CONCERNING SUSTAINABILITY OF MANUFACTURING SYSTEM WITH PLATFORM AND ADD-ON MODULES.

抄録

To realize the criteria of the sustainable manufacturing industry and the flexibility corresponding to the diverse needs of users, we first put forward the concept of a manufacturing facility that consists of a core platform and add-on modules (P-A manufacturing facility). In a prior study, we established a circulation market model that takes P-A manufacturing facilities as objective products and constructed a multi-agent simulation system from the perspective of long-term use and life cycle assessment theory. Here, more behavioral agents that may lead to unknown effects on circulation are added to our model. Different societal scenarios are edited for simulation, and differences generated from different scenarios are compared and evaluated. This proposed approach using multiagent simulation system is expected to help to select some optimal societal scenarios and to provide feedback relevant to application in real societal situations.
