A Sustainable Product Realization Strategy Using Decomposition-Based Approach

Abstract:

To achieve sustainable product realization, three essential areas namely end-of-line management, green supply chain and sustainable manufacturing have to be considered during the design/development phase. A framework for product realization (presented as objective-mean hierarchy) is proposed in this paper with the help of decomposition-based approach to serve as a guideline for product development companies/firms to improve their environmental strategies by prescribing the key areas and necessary considerations to be scrutinized.
