A Integrated Methodology for Product Life Cycle Design

Abstract:

With the increasing public environmental consciousness, chemical product design requires simultaneous satisfaction and compromise of environmental and economic performance. To fulfill the two conflicting while complementary objectives, a systematic approach for life cycle design of chemical product is proposed in this paper. Multi-attribute decision-making is adopted in a trade-off consideration of both technical-economical evaluation and environment impacts assessment with the analytic hierarchy process approach. Based on the evaluation of relative importance of criteria, multi-criteria decision making is performed.
