In product-diverse, end-of-life (EoL) production lines the relevant markets, competitors and customer bases continuously change as new products are processed. The resale market itself changes with the influx of new products, as well as hardware and software discontinuations. Competitive business decision making is often performed by a human operator and may not be timely or fully informed. These are decisions such as whether to perform a high cost repair or recycle a product or whether to use a batch of parts in repair or sell them on. These decisions can be used to optimise product life-cycle management (PLM) and profit margins. A real-time decision making capability can reduce the risk of performing non-profitable processing. The novel contribution of this work is an interoperable semantic decision support toolset that enables a capability for timely EoL decisions based on complete knowledge on profitability, predicted pricing and cost-of-production. Many decision support systems have been proposed for the EoL domain, but a lack of interoperability and use of unstructured knowledge bases has led to decisions based on knowledge that is not up to date. Using formalised, semantic technologies offers sustainable decision making in this volatile and increasingly competitive domain.

在产品多样化的报废（EoL）生产线中，随着新产品的加工，相关市场，竞争对手和客户群不断变化。转售市场本身随着新产品的涌入以及硬件和软件的停产而改变。竞争性业务决策通常是由操作员执行的，可能无法及时或充分地获知。这些决定包括是否执行高成本的维修或回收产品，还是使用一批零件进行维修还是将其出售。这些决策可用于优化产品生命周期管理（PLM）和利润率。实时决策能力可以降低执行非盈利性处理的风险。这项工作的新颖之处在于提供了一个可互操作的语义决策支持工具集，该工具集使您能够基于对获利能力，预测价格和生产成本的全面了解，及时进行EoL决策。已经为EoL领域提出了许多决策支持系统，但是由于缺乏互操作性和使用非结构化知识库，导致了基于最新知识的决策。使用形式化的语义技术可以在这个瞬息万变，竞争日益激烈的领域提供可持续的决策。但是由于缺乏互操作性和对非结构化知识库的使用，导致基于最新知识的决策。使用形式化的语义技术可以在这个瞬息万变，竞争日益激烈的领域提供可持续的决策。但是缺乏互操作性和对非结构化知识库的使用导致了基于最新知识的决策。使用形式化的语义技术可以在这个变化多端，竞争日益激烈的领域中提供可持续的决策。
