“…A recent review by Chiu and Kremer (2011b) identified 12 different tools (guideline sets, metrics, mathematical models, and methods) for Design for Environment (DfE) and DfS. It was readily evident, however, that these methods focus on environmental sustainability and are deficient in incorporating economic sustainability.…”

a b s t r a c tAlthough sustainability is a frequent topic in product development literature, the often segmented and narrow scope of prior works limits the potential benefits of the industrial application of methods, models, and tools developed by the research community. The work herein has the goal of coalescing relevant, recent work supporting the economic and environmental aspects of sustainability for early stage product development by focusing on the interfaces between product design and supply chain operations. This discussion is intended to highlight past accomplishments and to be a call for action to the research community for the development of integrated methods, models, and tools to support sustainability initiatives across product supply chains. A literature review spanning product design, manufacturing, and supply operations management reveals several near-term research needs, which are organized into four highly promising foci addressing product architecture engineering, assembly/ disassembly operation modeling, manufacturing process modeling, and joint optimization of life cycle activities. Finally, potential avenues for future collaborative research are presented and discussed.

“…The major aim of design efficiency is to decrease the cost and lead time of a product, as well as to maintain its quality [54]. The DFA by Boothroyd et al [20] was selected to ensure the consistency Although almost all the impact categories were dominated by the manufacturing stage, there were still many categories that occurred at the use stage.…”

This study proposed the use of an LCA supported by a design efficiency evaluation based on Design for Assembly principles to reduce the environmental impact of a product. To illustrate the methodology, a water leakage alarm (WLA) was selected as the object for a case study. Based on the identification and evaluation of the LCA results, it was inferred that the stage with the highest environmental impact was the manufacturing stage (75.35%), followed by the use stage (23.88%), the disposal of the WLA (0.64%), and finally, the disposal of the batteries (0.14%). For the manufacturing stage, the most interrelated categories were the hazardous waste and human toxicity, while the use stage was the main contributor to ozone depletion and acidification. Moreover, the disposal of the WLA and batteries contributed to the bulk waste. Furthermore, from the assembly evaluation, the design efficiency of the product was 14%. Two recommendations for improving the design of the WLA were: (1) to reduce the number of screws from three units to one unit, and (2) to eliminate the use of a cable and to replace it with a wireless component. By implementing both the proposed recommendations, the design efficiency was improved by as much as 34%. From the environmental perspective, there is not much difference between the wired alarm and wireless alarm. The wired alarm was considered to be more environmentally friendly in terms of product manufacturing but the wireless alarm has an advantage in terms of design and energy efficiency. By combining LCA and DFA design evaluation, a more comprehensive perspective of the product life cycle can be achieved.

The capability to concurrently design the product and its supply chain is a key competence in manufacturing companies. However, this crucial capability is still underdeveloped because of the lack of practical methodology for concurrent product and supply chain design (CP-SCD) in the industries. Moreover, research has not been able to fill this industrial capability gap partly because there is a lack of convergence of methodologies in the product design and SCD research communities. This paper provides a literature review that unravels undiscovered aspects and gaps of past research in CP-SCD. The findings from the literature review are synthesised into a novel exploratory research framework termed concurrent design attributetrade-off pyramid that provides propositions for research on CP-SCD methodology. The practicality of this framework is demonstrated by the development of a CP-SCD methodology, which is applied to modularity design. Based on an innovative use of the design structure matrix in modularity design, this methodology also generates useful managerial insights in design trade-off analysis and the classification of product-supply chain systems.
