The increasing competition among the manufacturing organizations and stringent government regulation forces the manufacturing organizations to implement sustainability principles in manufacturing. Sustainability focuses on material, product development, and manufacturing process orientations. End of life (EoL) disposal of the product is very much important in the modern scenario. The remanufacturing is a vital strategy for attaining sustainability in manufacturing. The assessment of remanufacturability of products needs to be done during the design stage so as to provide the manufacturers the guidelines for sustainable product development. In this context, this chapter presents the insights on remanufacturability index assessment for a typical automotive product. The practical implications of the study are also being discussed.

When NC State University recently hired me to lead a course concentration in sustainable design, I began to hone in on what sustainable product development and design translate to and its actionable applications. Sustainable product development and design of current and future consumer products and services are methods that create a proactive versus a reactive approach. The development of sustainable products and systems must start at the beginning phase of ideation and continue through the entire process to achieve multiple design purposes and duration with a designated end-of-life plan. In contrast, generally, products are developed with end of life and longevity as a secondary thought, and with recycling as a potential option. If the goal is the longevity of a product or service, one needs to look beyond recycling and more at the concept of development. A sustainable product development approach and design thinking are how to accomplish product longevity.

Many industries are labor-intensive and energy- and resource-consuming. A sustainable development plan is necessary for the industries as industrial structures have been changing recently. Taiwan’s shoe industry also has experienced such changes and requires a sustainable product development plan for continuous development. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new method by introducing a model of sustainable product development to facilitate the sustainable development of the industry. By taking air-cushioned casual shoe production as an example, this study suggested the refined Kano quality model for exploring the product attributes that improved the customers’ satisfaction. The refined Kano model that was established with interviews and questionnaire surveys was effective to define the product attributes that contributed to satisfying the customers and understanding their perception of product attributes. In the air-cushioned casual shoe production, the model found function, design, innovation, marketing, and service to be important for manufacturers to develop products with limited. It also suggested the priority be put on the attributes of high value-added quality, key quality, and potential quality. The model helped manufacturers decide which product attributes they need to invest in and develop. The relation of product attributes and consumer satisfaction for a sustainable product development model was also found by using the refined Kano model. The result of this study is expected to apply to various industries for establishing an appropriate sustainable product development model.

Sustainable product development (SPD) requires that product design achieve minimal or zero environmental impact, while satisfying other design criteria such as functionality, quality, desirable features, and acceptable cost and time to market. Therefore, environmental evaluations must be incorporated into the design stage. This research is aimed at the development of a new approach to lifecycle design and evaluation. This paper proposes a framework to optimize functional, environmental, and economic (FEE) performance towards sustainable design. Based on the three dimensions of FEE, a systematic lifecycle design process model is proposed, which consists of: the three FEE requirements; two design objects (physical structure and lifecycle structure); and, the FEE evaluation streams of LCQ (functional lifecycle quality), LCA (environmental lifecycle assessment) and LCC (economic lifecycle costing). A new concept, called process-based analysis (PBA) is defined, and used as the base for FEE evaluations.
