Environmentally Responsible Product Development

چکیده
Environmentally responsible product development (ERPD), also known as environmentally benign manufacturing, considers both environmental impacts and economic objectives during the numerous and diverse activities of product development and manufacturing. There are many ways to minimize environmental impacts. Clearly, however, the greatest opportunity for ERPD occurs during the product design phases since the decisions that are made during these phases determine most of the product’s environmental impact. This paper discusses studies of information flow and decision making in product development organizations. This research has yielded methods for improving environmental information processing and defining product environmental metrics.
