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.

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

The evolution of methods on sustainable product design has been wining a high level of maturity showing the possibility of being applied to different types of products. This paper shows a comparative study of recent sustainable product design approaches. The study was carried out developing a three level taxonomy to compare the approaches: sustainable development, sustainable product development and sustainable product design tasks. The compared approaches were selected because they were considered the most robust and referred in the literature. The study provides designers an overview of the methods, vision, purpose and concepts used by the selected approaches to sustainable product design.

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.
