“…Therefore, in this case, all of the potential environmental benefits from material selection and/or reusing, remanufacturing, recycling or composting processes are jeopardized [31]. In addition to use and EOL, numerous studies emphasize that the concept of sustainability necessarily includes the market success [3][4][5]9]. Indeed, an EDP that is not purchased (or exploited in case of service) cannot be considered sustainable [32].…”

Eco-designed products can contribute to sustainable development if consumers choose them rather than the less environmentally friendly alternatives and if they are used properly. However, eco-design methods have so far failed to address the issue of unsustainable behaviors, whose sources have not been recognized. In light of this deficiency, the authors have analyzed a large number of eco-designed products with the aim to capture the possible unsustainable behaviors arising from their use and consumption. The subsequent characterization of unsustainable behaviors has led to the creation of a framework of unsustainable behaviors, which has been subjected to the evaluation of a pool of experts in the field. In its final version, the framework includes nine classes of unsustainable behaviors, which are categorized into the corresponding product lifecycle phases (purchase, use, end of life), and different kinds of undesired effects (harmful, insufficient, excessive) based on the TRIZ-oriented functional analysis. The classes, whose significance has been checked in the literature, include frequent causes of unsustainable behaviors and corresponding examples. Through the framework, designers can take into due account the possible circumstances that would prevent their developed products from being prone to unsustainable behaviors. In a future step, the classes of unsustainable behaviors are to be linked with indications arising from Design for Sustainable Behavior.

One of the issues to be resolved by Design Engineering students is to obtain a large number of ideas in the initial design phase. Another issue is to know which of these ideas has the most potential over the others in terms of creativity and sustainability. This is complex, as they do not have a great deal of experience in establishing criteria for the evaluation and selection of the best conceptual proposals. Therefore, this work shows the experience made in the subject of Design Methodologies of the 3rd year of the Degree in Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development at the Universitat Jaume I in the implementation of a game-based tool that helps to enhance the number of circular ideas and the subsequent evaluation of the novelty and feasibility of the same through the C-BOX technique. The contribution of this work is to incorporate circularity criteria within the C-BOX tool. In addition to classifying the ideas obtained according to the level of novelty and feasibility, it is easily visualized which ones meet circularity criteria. Finally, the students' opinion is collected to know if the session has been satisfactory and useful.

“…In the modern global economy, the PSS strategy is increasingly popular among manufacturers [15], including IBM (from hardware to software supplier and then to service provider), Apple (from personal computer manufacturer to high-end consumer electronics and service provider), and Monetti S.P.A of Italy (from refrigerator manufacturer to integrated service provider of cold chain logistics based on refrigerator manufacturing) [16]. Although PSSs enhance customer acceptance and market success [17], manufacturing SMEs faces a number of challenges in the servitization transition [18][19][20]. These unexpected difficulties are known as the Service Paradox [21].…”

An Iterative Design Method from Products to Product Service Systems—Combining Acceptability and Sustainability for Manufacturing SMEs

Manufacturing small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in the economic development and resource consumption of most regions. Conceptually, a product-service system (PSS) can be an effective way to improve the sustainability of manufacturing SMEs. However, the construction of PSSs requires enterprises to integrate a large number of product and service resources. Moreover, current PSS design methods mostly construct a new set of highly service-oriented PSS solutions based on customer needs while seldom considering the combination of acceptability and sustainability for manufacturing SMEs at the initial stage of design, which may lead to the difficulties in applying PSS solutions beyond enterprise integration capacity or result in the waste of existing product resources. Instead of constructing a new PSS solution, this paper proposes the treatment of existing product modules as the original system. The PSS solution is iteratively constructed with the upgrade of the original system in a gradual way, which is driven by systematic performance (this process can be suspended and repeated). Phased iterative design solutions can be applied by manufacturing SMEs according to their development needs. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Lean Design-for-X (LDfX), design structure matrix (DSM), and Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) are combined in an iterative design process from customer needs and system performances to PSS solutions. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified through the iterative design case from electric pallet trucks to warehousing systems. It is proved that this method is more sustainable and easier to be accepted by manufacturing SMEs than existing PSS design methods through in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs.
