Green product & service design + Life Cycle Assessment - Article: Arnette et al. (2014): Design for sustainability (DFS): The integration of Supply Chain and sustainability
3 important questions on Green product & service design + Life Cycle Assessment - Article: Arnette et al. (2014): Design for sustainability (DFS): The integration of Supply Chain and sustainability
In this article they tried to create a taxonomy for Design for Sustainability (DFS). On what (4) is this based?
- The DFX - techniques that are most prominent in the literature.
- The areas where DFX - techniques overlap (to enable consolidation)
- The areas where there are relationships between DFX - techniques
- The areas where there are potential gaps in the literature.
Design for sustainability consists of economic, ecological and social aspects (triple bottom line).
Many traditional DFX - techniques are related to the economy dimension and focused around DFSC (supply chain). Of what five categories consists DFSC?
- DFP = Procurement
- DFMA = Manufacturing/ Assembly
- DFL = Logistics
- DFRL = Reverse Logistics
- DFSp = Supportability
DFE (environment) is the higehst - level category. What are subcategories (5) of DFE?
- DFCRR = Chronic risk reduction
- DFEC = Energy conservation
- DFMC = Material conservation
- DFWMR = waste minimisation and recovery
- DF3R = remanufacture (DFRem), reuse (DFRu) and recycle (DFR)
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
