Semantic interoperability for an integrated product development process: a systematic literature review

International audienceGlobal competitiveness challenges manufacturing industry to rationalise different ways of bringing to the market new products in a short lead-time with competitive prices while ensuring higher quality levels and customisation. Industries need to effectively share heterogeneous information during Product Development Process (PDP) within and across their institutional boundaries to be competitive. However, problems with misinterpretation and mistakes have been identified during information exchange due to the semantic interoperability obstacles. Thus, this research proposes a systematic literature review to identify the main researches and the milestones reference works on semantic interoperability field. A rigorous methodology was conducted in different databases, covering the articles published in scientific journals from 2005 to 2015 as a preliminary study had indicated that the incidence of articles related to the subject was more frequent from the second half of the 2000s. The research structure consisted of four steps: Survey-searching, analysis and selection of recent researches; Categorization-categorization of the selected papers; References citation frequency analysis-the selected papers were analysed and the main researches and milestones references were identified; and Main researches critical analysis – the main researches were analysed for their contributions and limitations, their contributions and limitations, resulting in 14 selected scientific articles and 8 identified milestones references. It is evident that this field has interesting perspectives on future research opportunities on semantic interoperability of information issues across PDP, contributing to the new concepts of future factories

Analysis on the Application of a Tool to Support the Development Process of Biomimetic and Sustainable

Este artigo traz uma análise da aplicação de uma ferramenta para desenvolvimento de produtos Biomiméticos e sustentáveis: Método BIOS. Com a inspiração proveniente da natureza, problemas vinculados ao homem são resolvidos graças às tecnologias e estratégias obtidas dos mais diversos seres vivos que habitam o planeta, que passaram por longo período de evolução. O método auxilia na concepção de produtos bioinspirados, assimilando Design e Biologia, de forma integrada ao Processo de Desenvolvimento de Produtos. Para isso, foi analisado um produto desenvolvido com tal metodologia e seus resultados alcançados. Com isso, verificou-se que o método, é uma ferramenta eficaz no desenvolvimento de produtos,suasinovaçõestecnológicas podem contribuir para a redução de impactos negativos ao meio ambiente, quando comparado a produtos similares no mercado. Para futuras aplicações, o método será utilizado no âmbito da construção civil, para encontrar soluções que reduzam a quantidade de resíduos, ao considerar o modelo de alvenaria.The article presents an analysis of the application of a tool for the development of Biomimetic and sustainable products: BIOS Method. With inspiration provided by nature, human problems are solved with the help of technologies and strategies obtained from the various living beings on the planet, which have gone through a long period of evolution. The method assists in the development of bio-inspired products, integrating Design and Biology into the Product Development Process. For this, an analysis of a product developed with this methodology and its results. With this, it was possible to verify that the method is an efficient tool to develop products, their technological innovations can contribute to the reduction of negative impacts to the environment, when compared to similar products on the market. Forfuture applications, the method will be used in the construction industry, to find solutions that reduce the amount of waste, when considering the brickwork model

Evaluation and Choice Criteria of Sustainable Suppliers in the Construction Industry: A Comparative Study in Brazilian Companies

This article seeks to develop criteria for evaluating sustainable suppliers in civil construction and to contribute to improving the understanding of the factors that influence the selection of sustainable suppliers. Organizations should develop strategies that motivate suppliers to participate in green supply-chain initiatives, as supplier selection can directly interfere with sustainability performance at work. However, there is a gap in the research that addresses the selection of sustainable suppliers in the Brazilian context of civil construction related to certifications for sustainable construction. To fill this gap, the present article used literature-review methodologies, content analysis, data triangulation, and field research through a survey. The literature review identifies the certifiable standards for sustainable construction most cited in the literature: LEED, AQUA, BREEAM, and CASBEE. The standards analysis allows us to identify seven similar supply criteria for sustainable construction certifications. The parameters of each certification were analyzed to define those related to the selection of suppliers, identifying those that qualify a supplier as environmentally sustainable. We found that 60.7% of respondents work in companies without certifications, 75% know sustainable procurement, 50% of companies had established a sustainable procurement policy, and 83% of companies had a strategy for selecting suppliers. The results of this research contribute to construction companies being able to rank the importance of these criteria when choosing a supplier, in addition to having access to the mapping of essential criteria, allowing a search for greater interaction between the links of the green supply chain and rendering buildings and supplies more sustainable
