The Difference

Abstract Proper modeling of the usage phase in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is not only critical due to its high impact among life cycle phases but also challenging due to high variations and uncertainty. Furthermore, when multiple products can be utilized, the optimal product usage should be considered together. The robust optimal usage modeling is proposed in this paper as the framework of usage modeling for LCA with consideration of the uncertainty and optimal usage. The proposed method seeks to optimal product usage in order to minimize the environmental impact of the usage phase under uncertainty. Numerical examples demonstrate the application of the robust optimal usage modeling and the difference from the previous approaches. Highlights The robust optimal usage modeling is proposed for the usage modeling of LCA. The proposed model seeks to sustainable product usage under uncertainty. Numerical examples demonstrate the difference from the previous approaches.

Product Definition

Abstract We developed a new database tool to manage information during the product definition process. This tool is a result of an ongoing research program to coordinate marketing and design engineering efforts in new product developments, and consider the related life cycle issues early in the design process. The database tool facilitates a methodology that integrates customer and design information, and allows reuse of this information during redesign problems. This paper presents the development, implementation, and an example use of the database tool.
