The globalisation of markets and the expansion of product
responsibility into the entire product life cycle lead to an
increasing competitive situation for nationally and internationally
operating companies. Therefore, to win this competition the use of
the most effective and efficient resources regarding the whole
product life cycle is necessary. Since these resources are globally
distributed the different tasks both within a phase of product life
cycle and those spread over different phases are distributed as
well. The global interference of these tasks requires a close
multilateral co-operation of the companies concerned. Current
information- and communication technologies and modern management
concepts offer high potentials to meet these requirements. The
international seminar of CIRP on Life Cycle Engineering titled
"Life Cycle Networks" was a forum for the presentation and
discussion of current research work and recent advancements on
these strategic issues for current and future engineering. Complex
requirements and innovative solutions to support and realise Life
Cycle Networks has been revealed and summerised. The employment of
information technology to support both specific phases of product
life cycle and holistic approaches will be the main focus. This
volume contains the papers presented at the seminar which provide
opportunities to identify the state-of-the-art and address future
needs. The parts in this volume correspond to the sessions of the
seminar and are presented under the following headings: Life Cycle
Management; Life Cycle Design; Design for Environment; Design for
Recycling; Life Cycle Assessment; Disassembly; IT-Networks.
