Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions have become one of the most attractive global concerns for sustainable development. To reduce product life cycle carbon footprint, planning should begin at embodiment design phase. Accurate assessment of carbon footprint is the foundation of carbon footprint reduction. However, existing carbon footprint models are not applicable to embodiment design phase due to incomplete and limited design information. With this in mind, this paper proposes a carbon footprint model for embodiment design based on macro-micro design features. First, a Function-Structure-Feature (FSF) model for embodiment design is established to convey the design information. The concept of design features is introduced (as both macro and micro level). The macro design feature denotes the different operational states of the product and the constraint relationships between parts. The micro design feature denotes specific properties of parts. Then, a model of product carbon footprint based on design features is presented through analyzing the relationships between macro-micro design features and product carbon footprint. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by a gear hobbing machine. The amount of carbon footprint from each type of design feature can be predicted. Through the optimization of design features, product life cycle carbon footprint has decreased significantly.

Technology Life Cycle

Forecasting technology is one way that can be used to predict product life cycle. Product life cycle is very important to know, especially by organizations, that are in small medium level, like SME. This research will be conducted in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.Forecasting product life cycle that has been done, will direct this research toward the stage of product development. Stages of development of the products are a necessary stage for an organization, especially in SME, to innovate the product. The purpose of this research is to propose the development of products, such as the stages of innovation that can be done in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri, forecasting conducted based on life cycle assessment of products and technology components using technometric model. The results of this research are proposed innovation based forecasting and product life cycle assessment in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri using technometric model.
