Trends in Sustainable Design Centered Manufacturing

Abstract:

This paper illustrates a new manufacturing capability which is driven by design and sustainability. Several objectified design cases by using or waiting the new insertion of manufacturing technologies have been discussed. The cases of the leading products or systems in the world include Kazuo Kawasaki eyeglasses, Mac ibook, Boeing 787-8, integrated circuit, plasmafication, and information based medicine. The research also forecasts the value increased the activities of design centered manufacturing. After defining the scope of sustainability, an analysis of a strategy of a sustainable organization is also included. The research results predict that the competitive advantages of new products come not only from the advanced manufacturing technologies but also from a sustainable design centered manufacturing approach.
