AbstractIn last years, an increasing attention on environmental matters is registered. Companies face environmental matters to increase the environmental performances of their products, forced by numerous legislations, normative and protocols and induced to the growing attention of consumers toward environmentally friendly products. However, observing the industrial context, it emerges there are several barriers for implementation of eco-design strategies inside design departments. The paper presents a tool which aims at both providing a basic guide on environmental sustainability issues and favouring the knowledge sharing among the different actors of the product design process. The core of the tool is a repository in which company materials, organized and collected in different forms, are collected. The repository contains several parts: training, guidelines, knowledge and milestone, accordingly to the type, structure and form of materials stored. The eco-design tool functions, structure, and workflow are presented and then preliminary test cases are described.

AbstractGreen Supply chain, Green Packaging, Eco-labels, and Eco-design strategies are concepts that are discussed frequently within scientific and political debates. Eco-design strategies for Lifecycle Design include the Eco-design Strategy wheel which presents eight Eco-design strategies: New concept development, Selection of low-impact materials, Reduction of materials usage, Optimization of production techniques, Optimization of distribution system, Reduction of impact during use, Optimization of initial lifetime, and Optimization of end-of-life system. This research investigates specifically the selection of low impact raw materials phase using the European Union as a benchmark to improve the Egyptian situation and aims to apply the closed loop cycle to the Egyptian Plastics Industry. Its goal is to enlight the way towards Sustainable and Circular economy system in Plastics manufacturing sector in Egypt while emphasizing the financial benefits from the Business and Marketing perspectives rather than the Environmental perspective only.

Full textAbstract:
Eco-design practices are still incipient in Brazilian furniture industries, although some improvement can be identified in recent years. This paper describes the performance of an industrial furniture cluster located in Southern Brazil regarding such practices. An embedded case study involving four companies — two manufacturers and two suppliers — was carried out using in-depth interviews. It enabled to depict particularities of how these companies deal with sustainable aspects of design in their respective business. Critical issues identified as obstacles for eco-design implementation in these industries were: control of both, productive process and product durability; product distribution; rational use of space for transportation and storage. Minor difficulties were identified regarding the lack of renewable energy sources and the scarcity of knowledge dissemination. Such hurdles could provide opportunities and support future eco-design strategy implementation, improving the competitiveness and contributing for the eco-efficiency of the Brazilian furniture industry.

Full textAbstract:
Furniture manufacturing is known to have considerable impacts on the environment and there is a definite trend towards environmental-friendly product designs in the industry worldwide. This paper reports the results of an exploratory research on the status of eco-design in the Thai furniture industry. Two basic research questions are addressed; 1) are there any eco-design activities and, if so, to what extent and 2) what are the driving forces that drive or hinder eco-design activities. A combination of research methodologies were employed; interviewing, survey, and actually examining selected products in the market. The results show that key personnel know very little about eco-design, but they have implemented a number of eco-design methods in their products and processes in practice. The driving force for such progress seems to be not from the environmental consciousness per se but rather the demands and requirements from the customers and the markets. The legal and supporting infrastructure to promote and move eco-design forward is just emerging and still rather weak. There are, however, considerable implementation problems and obstacles due to lack of technical know-how on the part of the personnel involved. It is concluded that the Thai furniture industry is implementing number of eco-design activities without knowing much about eco-design principles and the underlying philosophy. Public awareness and consequently the market force is key to moving eco-design forward. Effective campaigns and better education on sustainable development and eco-design, together with stronger legal and supporting infrastructure, would certainly help increase eco-design activities.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding eco-innovation is an essential endeavor to achieve global sustainable development. In this sense, further research on implementation is needed to expand knowledge beyond current boundaries. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this debate by conducting an original multidimensional analysis using Spanish agri-food sector data. The empirical methodology applies a combination of descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and the chi-squared test. Two groups of well-differentiated eco-innovative firms are identified, those with high and low eco-innovation implementation levels. Quality certifications, environmental consulting and cooperation with stakeholders are the variables that contribute most to distinguishing these two groups. The results also reveal that operating income volume, number of employees and commercialization volume are key factors to become more eco-innovative. In this sense, larger firms are found to have a higher level of eco-innovation implementation than small- and medium-sized enterprises. The main contributions of this work are fourfold. Firstly, it presents a comprehensive framework of eco-innovation implementation in its four dimensions (product, process, organizational and marketing). Secondly, it fills existing gaps in the literature by analyzing green organizational and marketing eco-practices. Thirdly, it expands the sectorial scope of eco-innovation research primarily focused on high-tech sectors. Finally, this study makes it possible to design certain policies for public and private decision makers.

Full textAbstract:
The building sector is responsible for extensive resource consumption and waste generation, resulting in high pressure on the environment. A way to potentially mitigate this is by including environmental considerations during building design through the concept known as eco-design. Despite the multiple available approaches of eco-design, the latter is not easily achieved in the building sector. The objective of this paper is to identify and discuss what barriers are currently hindering the implementation of eco-design in the building sector and by which measures building designers can include environmental considerations in their design process. Through a systematic literature review, several barriers to implementation were identified, the main ones being lack of suitable legislation, lack of knowledge amongst building designers, and lack of suitable tools for designers to use. Furthermore, two specific tools were identified that allow the inclusion of environmental consideration in building design, along with nine design strategies providing qualitative guidance on how to potentially minimize energy and material consumption, as well as waste generation. This paper contributes a holistic overview of the major barriers to and existing tools and method for the eco-design of buildings, and provides guidance for both future research and practice.

11 Background: The ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Since 2015, ECO has been collaborating with ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in quality initiatives in cancer care, like the QOPI (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) program and the QOPI Certification Program (QCP). The Quality Training Program (QTP) is a 6-month course with 3 in-person learning sessions that prepares oncology teams to design, implement and lead successful quality improvement activities in their practices. In 2018, ECO reached a new agreement with ASCO to implement this program in Spain. Methods: The QTP was developed in Spain by ECO in collaboration with ASCO, following the same methodology and contents of ASCO’s program. The first session was carried out in October 2018, with 12 Spanish teams participating with diverse quality improvement projects. The program counted with ASCO and ECO faculty, constituted by experts in the quality and oncology field. Results: Each QTP Spanish team counted with 2-3 representatives from their hospitals and developed an improvement project, following the methodology of the course, including a problem statement, process map, cause and effect diagram, diagnostic data, aim statement, measures, baseline data, priority/pay-off matrix of possible changes/interventions, change data, next steps/plan for sustainability, among others. The projects were mainly focused on the waiting time reduction in the Emergency Area and from the patient’s visit to the oncologist until treatment administration, burnout reduction on oncology professionals, improvement of the identification and management of complications for cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, improvement of the uniformity in the medical records registry, among others. QTP participants presented their projects’ results on the third and last session of the program in April 2019 with positive outcomes. Conclusions: The QTP’s quality improvement approach allows Spanish teams and the ECO Foundation to enhance the goal of a quality-oriented health care system. ECO will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further initiatives like the QOPI program, the QCP and the QTP.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The accumulating concern for environmental change has increased the need for companies to take a closer consideration to the negative impact of their operations. One effective approach to mitigate the impact is to, from the very first stages when a product is developed, analyse the environmental impact of the product’s entire lifecycle from the raw materials extruded from the ground to the disposal of the product. This type of practice is often referred to as eco-design. Unfortunately, the rate of companies implementing these practices are progressing slowly and a truly sustainable society is yet not in reach. Purpose: This study aims to investigate some of the most commonly cited obstacles in previous research. These problems can be concluded as the lack of specialized competencies, regarding the environmental impact of products in design teams. The reason this is problematic is that the practice of eco-design often requires a lot of information to be interpreted by a person with knowledge in the field. Companies have attempts to solve this issue by hiring eco-design specialists, however this often leads to difficulties in communication and disagreements with product developers. Therefore, this relationship between different stakeholders has been the second focus of the thesis. To find solutions to these problems the topic will be investigated from a knowledge management perspective. Method: To begin with, background data was reviewed to give a firm understanding of the topic and to create the basis of the theoretical framework. Later a multiple case study of two companies were performed and empirical data was gathered mainly from interviews. The empirical findings were analysed and compared to the theoretical framework in order to answer the research question. Conclusion: The results show that implementing eco-design in a company's product development can be hard in the implementation phase but when the practices are established the flow of information receives less problems. Furthermore, the hiring of professional eco-designers can be a good choice although they need to be implemented directly into the design teams.

Full textAbstract:
Our understanding of the effects that human production and consumption has on our planet and its resources has challenged us to think differently when developing new products. In response to these problems, Eco Design has been developed over the last few decades. Eco Design is a process integrated into product and engineering design that aims to lower the environmental impact of products across their life cycle, whilst not hindering design brief criteria such as function, price, performance, and quality. Research in Eco Design has focused mainly on the development of new tools and ways to implement Eco Design in industry. However, there is still little empirical knowledge today regarding the state of Eco Design implementation and practices in industry; in addition to the prerequisite needs and factors to successfully implement Eco Design. The aim of this research has been to review the level and type of Eco Design in the British Product Design industry and to identify recurrent themes helping or hindering implementation. This was achieved through the use of a pilot study followed by a two stage case study design, involving 20 cases and 57 participants across 65 interviews. The investigation and its analysis produced 12 confirmed themes, each generating their own drivers and barriers to Eco Design implementation. This research into Eco Design implementation provides a unique contribution and a timely insight into the Eco Design practices of the British Product Design industry today. The research also provides the novel contribution of identifying the drivers and barriers to implementing and sustaining Eco Design, as well as an understanding of the strengths and shortfalls of the current Eco Design processes and tools. These contributions to knowledge in the field of Eco Design will help future research formulate better solutions to implement Eco Design processes in the Product Design industry.

Full textAbstract:
Face to the growing awareness of environmental concerns issued from human activities, eco-design aims at offering a satisfying answer in the products and services development field. However when the considered products become complex industrial systems, there is a lack of adapted methodologies and tools. These systems are among others characterised by a large number of components and subsystems, an extremely long and uncertain life cycle, or complex interactions with their geographical and industrial environment. This change of scale actually brings different constraints, as well in the evaluation of environmental impacts generated all along the system life cycle (data management and quality, detail level according to available resources...) as in the identification of adapted answers (management of multidisciplinary aspects and available resources, players training, inclusion in an upstream R&D context...). So this dissertation aims at developing a methodology to implement ecodesign of complex industrial systems. A general methodology is first proposed, based on a DMAIC process (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control). This methodology allows defining in a structured way the framework (objectives, resources, perimeter, phasing...) and rigorously supporting the ecodesign approach applied on the system. A first step of environmental evaluation based on Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is thus performed at a high systemic level. Given the complexity of the system life cycle as well as the exploitation variability that may exist from one site to another, a scenario-based approach is proposed to quickly consider the space of possible environmental impacts. Scenarios of exploitation are defined thanks to the SRI (Stanford Research Institute) matrix and they include numerous elements that are rarely considered in LCA, like preventive and corrective maintenance, subsystems upgrading or lifetime modulation according to the economic context. At the conclusion of this LCA the main impacting elements of the system life cycle are known and they permit to initiate the second step of the eco-design approach centred on environmental improvement. A multidisciplinary working group perform a creativity session centred on the eco-design strategy wheel (or Brezet wheel), a resource-efficient eco-innovation tool that requires only a basic environmental knowledge. Ideas generated during creativity are then analysed through three successive filters allowing: (1) to pre-select and to refine the best projects; (2) to build a R&D projects portfolio thanks to a multi-criteria approach assessing not only their environmental performance, but also their technical, economic and customers' value creation performance; (3) to control the portfolio balance according to the company strategy and the projects diversity (short/middle/long term aspect, systemic level...). All this work was applied and validated at Alstom Grid on electrical conversion substations used in the primary aluminium industry. The methodology deployment has allowed initiating a robust eco-design approach recognized by the company and finally generating a portfolio composed of 9 eco-innovative R&D projects that will be started in the coming months.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental labels on products and services have been increasingly significant in influencing consumer purchasing and represent a crucial communication of the environmental credentials of products and companies. Yet their importance to industrial designers, who are recognised as having significant influence over the environmental impact of products, is less known. The overall aim of this research project is to investigate factors affecting the implementation of UK environmental labels by in-house industrial designers in UK Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). A review of the literature on industrial designers and environmental labels found that there was a gap in knowledge surrounding the factors affecting how and whether in-house industrial designers implement labels in their work, and what understanding they have. In response to the literature review a number of research questions were generated, which influenced the direction of this emergent, exploratory research. A Preliminary Study was set up to collect qualitative data from practicing industrial designers in UK SMEs on their recognition and use of environmental label schemes. A mock-up Resource was consequently developed that provided the information the Preliminary Study participants claimed to need. During the Main Study the Resource was used as an elicitation tool to further probe designers' understanding and use of labels. Subsequently, three Case Studies were conducted with UK SMEs who have implemented labels on their products, to identify elements of best practice. The in-house SME designers in the study appeared to have knowledge of environmental label types and schemes. Both this and designers' position within their companies especially in terms of their input on design briefs moderates their ability to implement labels. The cooperation and contribution of colleagues is also significant to the effective application including driving their use and being willing to include them in the product development process from early stages to impact on success or effectiveness. It is suggested that a whole company approach is needed. This thesis provides an original contribution to knowledge on in-house designers' capability to implement labels; understanding of designers' current knowledge and use of labels; and the role of designers in all SMEs, not just those engaged in ecodesign or using environmental labels.

The environmental issues derived from global warming, should be carried out and kept as a lifestyle in our daily life by us earthlings. The core of the issues is about the concepts such as energy-saving, carbon emission reduction, waste reduction, resources recycling and reusing and so on, which are thoughts on environmental protection and cultivation raised and called on by people all over the world nowadays. The researcher, when studying at art and design department, a senior vocational school, has joined some design competitions with similar purposes to protect enviromnent by recycling. At that time the design method tutored by the instructor was that, a new piece of works was constructed by gluing an aluminum can to polyfoam forcingly with hot-melt adhesive. In the process, the shaped structure (using the material polyfoam) was deeply flawed because of the high temperature of hot-melt adhesive. As the aluminum cans are not easily out of shape, they are often recycled, recut and renewed to be new shaped works, which are also connected forcingly to other materials with hot-melt adhesive. Of course from the appearance, there seems no big problems. While to a learner, from the perspectives of environmental protection and my health, I can’t help wondering on this: first, the polluted materials are forbidden in order to protect environment, aren’t they? If we really need recycled materials to design, we should check whether they are environmentally friendly. Second, when connected to the polyfoam, it emitted poisonous gases when heated, which made me feel dizzy after finishing the works. As it was assigned work by the school at that time, I didn’t think too much. Until the participation in the competition to make environmentally friendly and innovative dragon boats, I, as the researcher, was inspired to think it over again. Taiwan derived the competition to make environmentally friendly and innovative dragon boats above from traditional Dragon Boat Festival celebrations. As to the recycing design competition by recycling and reusing wasted resources, with the interweaved reflection on the environmental protection policies and cultural preservation promoted by the sponsors, I, as the researcher in relevant design field, can’t help wondering: what can design do for the environment in the green waves? Wonders hidden deep in heart in the earlier years appeared again because of this competition. What kind of green design attitude should we adopt to bring the real care to nature after all to agree to the core spirit of green design? Recycling design frequently referred to in design field is a term most popular in the public and among professional designers. As a designer, as well as the researcher, I hope to take part in it and try to understand and learn the facts about green issues going on all over the world. The research results are summarized as follows: 1.Study the questions and resolutions of modelling construction method from the perspective of recycling for environmental protection It mainly explores whether the modelling design agrees to the practical implementation of environmental protection concepts from the perspective of recycling for environmental protection. In many cases, the past participated competitors have used completely new materials, but not recycling resources to make the head of the dragon and other parts, although they are to the competition standard that the modelling image of the dragon is a must. To make the modelling of the dragon head more realistic, many competitors used the polyfoam to sculpture the dragon boat modelling and put it on the hull. This has obviously distorted the original purpose of the sponsors to promote the competiton of recycling for environmental protection. Designers often focus on the modelling, but not to learn more about the design model based on the material features. And in the competition this problem has been clearly revealed. 2.Study the questions and resolutions of coloring environmental-friendly method from the perspective of recycling for environmental protection There were many negative cases frequently using oil paint to make color painting in a large scale found in the process of the research. They are mainly from the works organized by the group of government offices in the past years and have got good places. It is in fact another real reflection that they only focused on the outside (here it means the color) and didn’t truly explore the real meaning of green design. This caused another hit and hurt to the environment and set up a bad example. In principle we should only take advantage of the orginal colors of the recycled materials, but not to produce new color painting, not to use chemical oil paint or other color painting methods which would cause secondary pollution, because these actions are all wrong and against green principle. 3.Study the questions and resolutions of material adoption environmental-friendly method from the perspective of recycling for environmental protection Optical discs are heavily-polluted and hard to recycle. Especially in the white optical discs there is the most poisonous mercury. However, the entries in the past years, as well as design works by the researcher earlier, all abused (broke them) such material unavoidably. They are all obvious negative cases (including the misuse of polyfoam, using polluted oil painting materials and so on). Therefore, if the designers or the public chose wrong materials at the beginning of the design, and didn’t take the perspective of recycling for environmental protection into consideration, then it wouldn’t agree to true green concepts, even if the chosen materials but with heavy pollution are recycled ones. 4.Study the competition nature from the perspective of recycling for environmental protection Although my works is favored on the modelling construction by the sponsors, I myself know that the works is not qualified on the choice of materials according to the requirements of green standards. Optical discs are indeed listed as recycled materials, while these heavily polluted materials will cause a big hit to the environment if adopted. Therefore, if designers can only diassemble materials to make modelling without learning about their features, they have taken great risks on the basic starting point. I will then warn myself to practice true lifestyle of environmental protection, which is really very important.

This chapter reflects on the implementation of pop-up architecture and sensory gardens made with waste reuse in brownfields. The selected experiments, MOBILELAND© (2014-2016) and DOT TO DOT© (2017 onwards), investigate waste reuse as pop-up sensory reactivation of gap sites in Glasgow. Experiments explore constructive sensibilities embedded in material sensory by interlinking tangible place-making, sensory gardens, eco-design, and self-build solutions in public spaces. The cases underline design as sensory medium to effectively co-develop innovative environmental changes, societal challenges, and co-creation, including experiential outdoor learning and public engagement, throughout the reuse of waste applied in remaking by testing/piloting the C2C theoretical framework. Trials apply the principles of temporariness, portability, and sensory of waste as social value and material culture in cities. These live projects explore constructional and somatic sensibilities and critically investigate the cultural embodiment of material sensory by remaking.

Building on the natural-resource-based view, and using a sample of 7,165 European SMEs, this chapter investigates the drivers of eco-design innovations among SMEs under three categories: (1) sustainability-oriented firm capabilities, (2) technological capabilities, and (3) access to finance. The findings reveal that sustainability-oriented capabilities achieved through investments into circular economy are the strongest driver of SMEs' eco-design innovations. Firms' technological capabilities are also found to boost their ability to adopt eco-design innovations. While equity finance increases the possibilities for SMEs to devote resources to eco-design, grant finance is interestingly observed to decrease such possibilities. The more traditionally used form of debt finance remains detached from eco-design implementations. The study contributes to a better understanding of how eco-design practices can be broadened within SMEs and highlights policy recommendations in this regard.

The objective of this article is to design a game theory-based model to outline the role of the government, firm and civil society for environmental sustainability. The study used the dynamic game theory of complete information. Based upon the equilibrium analysis, the study highlights that when the punishment for non-compliance with environmental responsibility is smaller, the role of civil society would be higher for environmental sustainability. On the other hand, when the environmental responsibility cost is higher, then the role of a government is also higher for the implementation of environmental responsibility and to ensure the punishment. However, the authors found from model analysis that if the cost is low, the probability of firm to fulfill environmental responsibility is higher. In real life, the high cost of environmental responsibility is the main reason that the firm does not fulfill environmental responsibility. Under the high cost, the firm often has the phenomenon of bribery to the government and other means to avoid environmental responsibility. This article is a valuable policy guide for policy makers to cope with global environmental challenges.

Green ICT systems provide the technological basis for organizations to adopt and implement Green ICT policies and practices. This system support can be enhanced by using the upcoming emerging technologies of Cloud computing, Web 2.0, Service Oriented Architecture and Mobile technologies. This chapter aims to incorporate these emerging technologies within Green ICT systems to help organizations be environmentally responsible. Green ICT can be considered as the adoption of an eco-friendly process by an organization in its practice of Information and Communication Technologies. The last decade, in particular, has seen profound awareness on the part of individuals as well as organizations in being environmentally aware. While automation and related computing activities continue to lead to exponential use of energy quotient, at the same time, Green ICT continues to chip away at the ‘resigned‘ views of the decision makers to environmental responsibilities. ICT operates at systems level, applications level, at the end-user level through the desktops and printers, and at the enterprise level through its data centers, servers and other infrastructure. Green ICT is all about optimization and improvement of the organizational processes without hindering its progress in the use of technology and simultaneously minimizing the organizational impact on the environment . This chapter will discuss the context provided by ICT in introducing an organization to a Green ICT system and explaining a detailed architecture and design of such a system. The issues discussed include Hardware and Software implementations, infrastructures and attitudes and policies of decision makers and how they influence global warming, including carbon emissions and the use of software applications in measuring and reporting carbon emissions.

Full textAbstract:
With the increasing environmental sophistication of consumers, there is a need to consider environmental factors and sustainability in the design process. This paper proposes a design methodology intended for software implementation called eAD+ to address the following four issues: 1) there are inherent couplings between eco-factors and product design parameters, 2) eco-factors are seldom structured for ready use within all phases of the design process, 3) there is a need for a formal feedback mechanism from the results of eco-analysis to the design process, and 4) it can be difficult to identify which design choice causes the most egregious environmental issue or functional coupling. eAD+ is based primarily on the Axiomatic Design (AD) methodology and addresses these issues as follows. First, AD directly identifies couplings between the functional requirements (FRs) in a design so that efforts, such as TRIZ, can be applied to address them. Second, as common eco-factors do not provide sufficient structure for inclusion in the AD framework, we develop structured eco-FRs and constraints. These are included alongside the product FRs throughout the design process. Third, the subset of the design matrix (DM) relating the eco-FRs to the design parameters explicitly incorporates feedback from eco-analysis into the design process. Here a database containing environmental (or sustainability) information is employed to evaluate the design. Fourth, we employ an augmented DM (drawing inspiration from the House of Quality of QFD) that provides weights highlighting which design parameter has the greatest influence on eco-factors and functional couplings.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing concerns about global warming, resource depletion, and ecosystem degradation are pushing manufacturing enterprises to consider environmental impacts of the products they make. Tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been developed to quantify environmental performance of a product, yet the implementation of LCA requires a significant amount of time/resources and its potential in assisting eco-design has been limited. Research has been done to conduct automatic LCA using the simplified database for electronics or to investigate the environmental impact of electricity consumption in a manufacturing process. However, a comprehensive and automated approach is in need to perform LCA analysis for a product considering all related materials and manufacturing processes. In this research, a framework for automating LCA analysis for eco-friendly product design has been developed and implemented with a computer program. A case study has been conducted using the proposed automatic LCA tool to perform life cycle analysis in the design process. The result of the tool can, with minimal time required, provide detailed distribution of life cycle impact indicators among direct inputs and assist in making design decisions to reduce the environmental footprints.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, the environmental issue has become increasingly important and has taken a leading role in the product design process. The product sustainability pass through the use of specific software tools supporting the design phase. Their integration, to build up a platform, is a key aspect toward the implementation of an effective eco-design approach. Even if the approaches presented in literature to create an eco-design platform aim to integrate environmental aspects during the design process, a proper tools integration is not existing. To overcome these limitations, the paper presents an eco-design platform in which tools for the improvement of the product environmental characteristics are contained. The tools of the platform are used to calculate the environmental impact of a product for each product life cycle phase: manufacturing, transportation, use and End of Life. The platform is completed by a tool containing the eco-design guidelines, also specific for the industrial sector of the company, used to suggest the designers how to improve the product eco-sustainability. The end users of the platform consist of designers from the design office but also from every department relevant for the project, mainly R&D, production, purchasing department, and quality. In particular, the following roles have been considered as users: designer, product manager, environmental manager and buyer. Designers and company experts use the same workspace, made of different tools. They can detail all the product life cycle phases, quantify the product performances, modify its characteristics and verify the improvements obtained without change the traditional design process in a radical way.
