EU directive 2005/64/EC on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to their
Reusability, Recyclability and Recoverability (
RRR
) requires
vehicle manufacturers to put in place the necessary arrangements and procedures
for Parts, Materials and Weight
(PMW
) data collection from full
chain of supply. This is required to perform the calculations of recyclability
rate and recoverability rate in line with ISO 22628.
Commonly practiced data collection methodologies included spreadsheet and use of
internationally available IT support system for collection of material data.
Data complexity and prohibitive cost for using Internationally available IT
Support systems like IMDS (International Material Data System) has led to the
in-house development of IT enabled Solution customizing Siemens PLM software
product (Team centre Enterprise) and SAP (SRM suite).
This paper enumerates the ITeS process of data collection of material, weight
data and computation of recyalability and output in ISO 22628 template
This IT enabled system has resulted in a cost effective solution for data
management and to meet EU vehicle recylability directive.
