The Collaborative Design for Reuse Project Development Session will give you the opportunity to shape and confirm involvement in the project.

Project Background:

At current, composite structures are often designed with predetermined life spans, and decommissioning often occurs for reasons outside of structural integrity. These composite assemblies are often then deemed to be useless, although their remaining value could be exploited in other applications. New products are rarely, if ever, designed with secondary functions in mind. In the future, there will be a suite of readily available toolsets to help inform decisions to aid design for reuse. Designers of virgin products will be linked with manufacturers of potential secondary products, and the supply chain will be fully functioning, cross-sectoral, and interconnected.

About the Project Development Session:

Following the November 12th ReDisCoveR Workshop, the project team invite you to the Collaborative Design for Reuse Project Development Session, kindly hosted by Ford Motor Company on Wednesday 19th February.

During this session members of the ReDisCoveR HVMC project team will summarise the output of the November 12th workshop and present the proposed project outline. Attendees will then review this output, suggest further recommendations and provide an initial indication of their specific involvement in the project moving forwards.

Session agenda:

Lunch
Review project output from 12th November workshop
Requirements capture
Review of proposed project work breakdown structure
Top level task definition
Identify support from industry / academia

This is the perfect opportunity to shape the Collaborative Design for Reuse project alongside future academic and industrial consortium partners.

This session will be run after the Design for Disassembly Project Development Session. If you wish to attend both workshops, please ensure you have registered for each individual event.
