The sustainable co-design of products and production systems
conference contribution
posted on 2017-11-16, 13:41 authored by Pasuree Lumsakul, Leila Sheldrick, Shahin RahimifardShahin RahimifardThe challenges in designing products and production systems are becoming increasingly complex due to more changeable
customer demands, frequent product updates, and the requirements for resource efficiency. Established design processes are often
unable to readily accommodate these rapid changes. In addition, incremental benefits are often achieved through existing
sustainable design approaches due to inability to fully assess the impacts of product design improvements and their associated
implications within production facilities. This highlights the need for more integrated design processes that enable seamless
co-development of products and production systems. This paper examines the current interrelation and interaction of these design
processes from the resource efficiency viewpoint, proposes a novel sustainable ‘Co-Design’ model, and discusses the ecological
benefits of co-designing future products and production systems.
