End-of-Life Decision-Making in Circular Manufacturing: A Complex Adaptive System of Systems Perspective
摘要
End-of-life (EoL) decision-making in circular manufacturing is a critical challenge for sustainable industry. Traditional linear models fail to capture the dynamic and emergent behaviors of modern production systems. This paper develops a novel framework combining Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) and System-of-Systems (SoS) perspectives to enhance EoL strategies such as reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. Methodologically we combine CAS principle – adaptive system, self-organizing agents and nonlinear dynamics - with SoS principle which addresses interdependence among production networks, supply chains, and markets. The proposed framework offers practical decision support for optimizing resource recovery, reducing waste, and designing adaptive circular supply chains.
