The remanufacturability of product mainly depends on product design and development strategy. Good design will use environmentally favorable materials and produce products with high remanufacturability. But now, most products are designed without considering the recycling and remanufacturing process. It is necessary to study manufacturers product design behavior to find measures to encourage the adoption of remanufacturing techniques including product design methods, the Finite Element Method of bonded strength, failure mechanism of materials, surface engineering techniques and so on. Sustainable product design and development behavior of manufacturer population in remanufacturing was studied. An evolutionary game model with government subsidies was set up. And the evolutionary stable strategies were analyzed under different ranges of values of relative parameters. The results indicated that government subsidies were essential to make manufacturers develop sustainable product and large subsidies always worked well. Especially the results showed that small subsidies also worked under certain conditions, which including the initial state of manufacturer population and the relationship of government subsidies and manufacturers revenues under different product development strategies.

Sustainable product design has become the tendency of the product design because the degradation of the environment. However, there are no effective methodologies or framework designers and developer eager to. This paper base on the soft system methodology present a methodology which is effective to the idea generation phases in sustainable product design process. From the need identification to the idea generation, sustainable product design criteria and relationship between it and customer requirements, 39 engineering parameters, 40 inventive principles were use in the methodology. An example is illustrated to show the process of this work flow, and the result show the effectiveness of the methodology.

The evolution of methods on sustainable product design has been wining a high level of maturity showing the possibility of being applied to different types of products. This paper shows a comparative study of recent sustainable product design approaches. The study was carried out developing a three level taxonomy to compare the approaches: sustainable development, sustainable product development and sustainable product design tasks. The compared approaches were selected because they were considered the most robust and referred in the literature. The study provides designers an overview of the methods, vision, purpose and concepts used by the selected approaches to sustainable product design.

Although a large number of research activities have been conducted for sustainable product development, it is not easy to find a practical method applied in sustainable product design as there are many uncertain factors existed in particular problems faced in different phases of product development. Based on reviewed literature, it is found that it is necessary to have an optimization metric accompanied with uncertainty effects in product development. A model is proposed in this research to evaluate the effects of uncertainty in product life cycle. The goal is to quantify various types of uncertainty from internal and external sources to assess the design efficiency for mitigating undesirable effects of uncertainty. The design phase is aimed in the research to look at product parameters that are subject to change in the design process. Inaccuracy, indecision and imprecision are selected as information uncertainty levels to quantify the evolution of uncertainty. Using the proposed concept, the discrete-event simulation (DES) is used to model and evaluate scenarios to minimize design phase duration of a sustainable wheelchair. Suggested improvements are compared to search the optimal solution. The analysis and comparison of scenarios show ways to reduce design time by (1) revision of the design process, (2) breaking down the product into design details, and (3) providing a clear and technical definition of uncertainty to be mitigated. The model is also used to locate areas for sustainability improvement in the studied case.
