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.

The remanufacturability of product is mainly determined by product design and development strategy. But now most products are designed without considering the remanufacturing and recycling process. It is necessary to study manufacturers product design behavior to find measures to encourage environmentally favorable product design. Sustainable product 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.

Generasi milenial dan generasi Z yang memiliki rentang umur 19-30 tahun di kota metropolitan seperti Bandung dan Jakarta lebih menyukai menggunakan teknologi smartphone dalam kegiatan sehari-hari termasuk kegiatan olahraga. Mereka hampir selalu menggunakan smartphone yang disimpan di dalam kain patch pakaian untuk mendengarkan musik sambil berolahraga. Penggunaan smartphone ini dapat menimbulkan efek kesehatan beberapa diantaranya adanya gangguan ginjal sehingga menurunkan fungsi ginjal untuk menyerap cairan tubuh, penurunan kualitas sperma pada laki-laki serta meningkatkan suhu tubuh pada bagian yang terkena smartphone. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membuat sebuah produk pakaian anti-radiasi unisex sportswear dengan menggunakan konsep sustainable product development yang menitikberatkan pada kelangsungan produk tersebut di pasaran dengan menambahkan kepedulian akan aspek kesehatan dan lingkungan di samping sifat produk yang menarik dan fashionable. Sesuai dengan konsep sustainable product development ini akan digunakan bahan-bahan dan diupayakan proses-prosesnya peduli pada kesehatan baik pengguna maupun pembuat serta ramah lingkungan. Salah satu aspek kesehatan pengguna adalah dengan membuat kain patch anti-radiasi smartphone dan menggunakan bahan pewarna alam yaitu kunyit, secang dan indigo pasta. Pada penelitian ini telah dikembangkan sebuah produk pakaian anti-radiasi unisex sportswear menggunakan teknologi plasma pijar korona elektroda tip-plane. Plasma pijar korona dibangkitkan dengan listrik tegangan tinggi serta menggunakan elektroda asimetri (lancip dan plat). Pakaian anti-radiasi ini dibuat menggunakan kain cotton fleece yang permukaannya telah dimodifikasi melalui proses atmospheric pressure plasma. Kain ini kemudian dilapisi dengan tinta konduktif berbasis graphite. Hasil studi memperlihatkan bahwa kain anti-radiasi yang dibuat melalui proses ini berhasil mengurangi radiasi gelombang elektromagnetik smartphone. Disamping itu untuk memastikan produk ini ramah lingkungan dipilihlah bahan-bahan pewarna yang berasal dari alam. Bahan alami yang dipilih untuk pewarna baju menggunakan bahan secang (Caesalpinia sappan L), kunyit (Curcuma longa Linn) dan indigo (indigofera). Kedua proses di atas diharapkan dapat mengurangi resiko negatif pada bagian tubuh dan ramah lingkungan. Diharapkan produk ini dapat membantu generasi pertengahan milenial sampai awal generasi Z untuk melaksanakan aktifitas olahraga tanpa khawatir akan efek negatif dari radiasi smartphone dan pewarna tekstil sintetis. Kata kunci : unisex sportwear , anti radiasi, plasma pijar korona

Sustainable product development (SPD) requires that product design achieves minimum or zero environmental impact, in addition to satisfying the traditional design criteria such as product functionality, quality, features, costs and time to market. Therefore, the environmental evaluations must be incorporated into design stage. In this research, a product design process model was proposed which includes three design requirements, two design tasks, and three comprehensive assessment streams. The functional requirement is derived from the customer needs to reflect the product’s functional purpose; the environmental requirement reflects the society’s needs of protecting natural resources and environment; and the economic requirement is to ensure the company’s basic business goals. Accordingly, SPD aims to simultaneously carry out two tasks of designing products’ physical structures and lifecycle structures. In the assessment phase of product design, three assessment streams, lifecycle quality (LCQ) analysis, lifecycle assessment (LCA), and lifecycle cost (LCC) are conducted with respect to the functional, environmental, and economic evaluations. A Process-Based Analysis concept is proposed for analysis of all three dimensions of LCQ, LCA, and LCC evaluations. Simplified LCA was used for environmental evaluations. The detailed assessment techniques are also developed for effective design evaluations. A case study will be provided to illustrate the methods and models.

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.

This study examines sustainable tourism products in tourism destinations. Based on concepts of sustainable product design, our study proposes a framework for sustainable tourism products by adapting an existing Design for Sustainability Framework to consider and analyze the characteristics and themes of sustainable (tourism) products as well as their impact and scope. Using a pragmatic qualitative approach, 15 semi-structured interviews with destination managers from the German-speaking Alpine region formed the empirical basis of the study. The results emphasize key themes and multiple characteristics associated with sustainable tourism products in tourist destinations, addressing all sustainability components and design innovation levels. This study is the first to apply existing sustainable product design concepts to destination contexts and discuss their applicability for sustainable tourism products. For practitioners, this study provides support for the development of sustainable tourism products and contributes to a better understanding of the effects and levels of these products as well as sustainability marketing.
