Lca Results

Abstract An approach for integrating life-cycle assessment (LCA) into the eco-design of lighting products was developed, and LCAs of five lighting products that are currently on the market were then carried out using this approach. Based on the results of these LCAs, the sustainability requests for lighting products were derived and embedded into the product design specification (PDS), thus ensuring that any product developed according to the PDS would have the desired eco-design features. A new sustainable lighting product was then designed according to the PDS and manufactured, after which the new product underwent LCA. Upon comparing the results of the LCA of the new product with the LCA results for the existing lighting products, the newly designed product was found to provide better environmental performance than the existing products (a 27–58% reduction in environmental impact).

Reconfigurable Design

Reconfigurable design is becoming more and more important in the product design. Based on the interchange and the assembled character of the module, module design is the main technology of carrying out reconfigurable design. Reconfigurable design system in this paper uses function and structure module, builds the virtual design floor to decompose and mapping the function and structure of the stone grinding equipment. Based on the equipment database created in Pro/Engineer software, this software can design, modify and assemble the module and the whole product according to the customer requirements. The application effect of this software is prefect.

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.

This research addresses the issues to identify the optimal product design based on individual customer requirements in one-of-a-kind production (OKP). In this work, a function decomposition approach is introduced for modeling the variations of design functions, configurations, and parameters in generic OKP product families. Requirements of individual customers are modeled at two different levels: function level and technical level. Customized OKP products are created from the generic OKP product families based on customer requirements. The optimal product design is identified from feasible design candidates through optimization. An industrial case study is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the introduced approach.

A blackboard-based architecture is developed for modular product design for the implementation of concurrent engineering. This proposed approach adopts blackboard-based techniques including blackboard, knowledge sources, agents and control module. The Workflow Automation through Agent-Based Reflective Processes (WARP) approach is used to collect the requirements and to build this model for the product development. This WARP approach entails an agent-based architecture that supports the bottom-up configuration, reconfiguration, and workflow-based services of reusable distributed design for X. Furthermore, a prototype system is created on Java, Jess and Jade platform. A specific case of bicycle part design is studied through the use of prototype system to prove the effectiveness and efficiency of the model. The blackboard-based architecture shows to take lesser time and cost in evolutionary cooperative and concurrent product design. It will greatly enhance the capability of companies to satisfy the diverse customer requirements.
