Application of ISO/TR 14062 Integration of Environmental Aspects into Product Design and development Kun-Mo Lee Ajou University August 30, 2002

Product Strategy/Planning Ecodesign Method-Our approach Product Strategy/Planning Design/Test Modification Product Planning Env Aspects Analysis Idea generation Idea verification Testing Prototype Market launch Env Design Strategy Detailed design Aspects Analysis Idea generation Conceptual design review Economical/ Quality strategies Out of scope

Product Planning What it does? Define project objective and boundary Select Product (Identification of the product and market characteristics) Determine project team

Environmental aspects analysis What it does? Identification of the weak environmental aspects Analytical tools LCA, Environmental Benchmarking, Checklists, etc

Environmental design strategy What it does? Define general environmental design strategies Selection of the specific design strategies for the product under consideration

Idea generation What it does? Analytical tools Generation of the environmental improvement ideas based on environmental aspects analysis results Analytical tools Brainstorming, Brainwriting 635, Heuristic principle, Bionics, Morphological Box, Progressive abstraction, etc

Idea Testing What it does? Analytical tools Integration of environmental improvement ideas with the other aspects(cost, quality) ideas Evaluation of the feasibility of the improvement ideas Analytical tools Ecodesign matrix, Ecodesign portfolio, Quality Profile. Dominance matrix, House of environmental quality,etc

& parameters(metrics) Environmental Benchmarking Proposed Method Product planning Interpretation Key issues identification Key env areas & parameters(metrics) selection Idea generation Establish Measurement methods Benchmarking Comparison/ analysis Env design strategy

Environmental design strategy Systematic method is needed in ranking general Environmental design strategies Use of Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)

Proposed method Env aspects Analysis results Determination of general environmental design strategies Selection of specific design strategy Determination of the ranking Determination of Decision Criteria Idea generation

AHP structure Decision Criteria Design Approach Consumer recognition Efficient material use Legislation/regulation Material life extension Competitor’s trends product life extension Optimal ecodesign Strategy Technology trends Cleaner manufacturing Efficient energy consum- ption in use Availability of skill Efficient transport system New market Driving Decision Criteria Design Approach

1. Efficient material use 2. Product life extension Ranking of the general environmental design strategies 1. Efficient material use 2. Product life extension 3. Cleaner manufacturing

Feasibility test of the ideas Definition : Elimination of the rough design ideas that do not meet legal, technical, economical, and environmental requirements, which leads to the generation of the qualified design ideas

Proposed method Pass/Fail Test Weighting & Selection Simplification Idea Generation Rough design idea from Environmental aspects Quality aspects Cost aspects Simplification Pass/Fail Test Weighting & Selection Simplified rough design idea Simplified feasible design idea Qualified design idea Conceptual design

Procedure (1) Simplified rough design ideas NO Meet legal requirements Pass/Fail Test Simplified rough design ideas Meet legal requirements Technically feasible NO YES Discard

( ) Procedure (2) YES NO Meet cost constraints Discard Pass/Fail Test Simplified feasible design ideas Meet cost constraints Discard YES NO Development time ( ) optional

Result Components Simplified feasible design ideas Pass/Fail Test A (housing) a5 : Reduce the number of screws of the housing. a8: Reduce the number of key pad accessories. a9: Reduce the weight of the key pad B (PBA) b4: Use Pb free soldering C (LCD) c1: Reduce the number of LCD window c5: Do not use glue to the LCD assembly D (…..) …..

Result Components Qualified design ideas Ranking & Selection A (housing) a8: Reduce the number of the key pad accessories B (PBA) b4: Use Pb free soldering C (LCD) c1: Reduce the number of the LCD window D (…..) …..

Case study:preliminary results Housing (A): Reduce the number of the key pad accessories PBA (B): Use Pb free soldering LCD (C): Reduce the number of windows Battery (D): Show material identification code on the pack Charger (E): Do not use vinyl packaging Packaging (F): Combine several user manuals into one
