Each of the articles in this special section makes a distinctive contribution to the long-standing controversy over the managerial value of the product life cycle concept. This overview is designed to put these articles into a broader perspective by analyzing the major issues of identification, forecasting, and strategy formulation encountered in any meaningful application of the product life cycle.

Abstract Traditional engineering analysis of product designs has focused primarily on a product’s operational performance without considering costs of manufacturing and other stages downstream from design. In contrast, life cycle analysis of a product during its initial development can play a crucial role in determining the product’s overall life cycle cost and useful life span. This paper examines product life cycle engineering analysis - measurement of product operational performance in a life cycle context. Life cycle engineering analysis is thus considered both as an extension of traditional engineering analysis methods and as a subset of a total product life cycle analysis. The issues critical to life cycle engineering analysis are defined and include product life cycle data modeling and analysis, analysis tools and their performance regimes, performance tradeoff measurement and problems of life cycle engineering analysis in an organizational context. Recommendations are provided for future research directions into life cycle engineering analysis in the context of integration architectures for concurrent engineering.

Esta pesquisa objetivou identificar o grau de percepção dos consumidores sobre às questões ambientais constatadas na Análise do Ciclo de Vida do produto (ACV) de colchões. A metodologia foi quantitativa e qualitativa, com utilização do modelo VAPERCOM que foi aplicado aos potenciais consumidores de colchões, visando realizar a caracterização do produto e do público consumidor, onde abordou-se a percepção ambiental, os hábitos de consumo ecológico e a importância das etapas da ACV. O resultado mostrou que, em geral, os respondentes têm percepção ecológica e se preocupam com a ACV e que parte deles tem hábitos de consumo ecológico. Sugere-se que a empresa busque componentes menos prejudiciais para fabricação da espuma e realize a logística reversa. ABSTRACTThe objective of this research was to identify the degree of consumer perception about the environmental issues identified in the Product Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of mattresses. The methodology was quantitative and qualitative, using the VAPERCOM model that was applied to the potential consumers of mattresses, aiming to characterize the product and the consumer public, where the environmental perception, the ecological consumption habits, and the importance of the steps of LCA.
