During its life cycle, a product produces waste that is over 20
times its weight. As such it is critical to develop products that
are sustainable. Currently product development processes lack high
quality methods and tools that are empirically validated to support
development of sustainable products. This book is a compilation of
over forty cutting edge international research papers from the 22nd
CIRP International Design Conference, written by eminent
researchers from 15 countries, on engineering design process,
methods and tools, broadly for supporting sustainable product
development.
A variety of new insights into the product development process,
as well as a host of methods and tools that are at the cutting edge
of design research are discussed and explained covering a range of
diverse topics. The areas covered include:
Sustainable design and manufacturing,
Design synthesis and creativity,
Global product development and product life cycle
management,
Design for X (safety, reliability, manufacturability, etc.),
and
Design taxonomy, ontology and standards.
"CIRP Design 2012: Sustainable Product Development" provides
researchers in design, engineering and sustainability access to
some of the latest, quality research in this area. Practitioners
and educators of engineering design and sustainability will find an
empirically validated suite of methods and tools that can be
applied and taught to develop their practices."
