Abstract

Today the idea of environmental issues influencing product design might seem as remote as a proposal in the early 1960's that pollution would become a constraint on manufacturing. For the main objective of Design for Environment is to give a support to develop environmentally friendly products. Thus, DFE must base on a very operative approach. A good DFE tool integrates environmental aspects directly in the product design process. So if anticipating change is a route to success, the method is use in term to solve the environmental effect. There are many methods available such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, BoothroydDewhurst (DFE) method and Material Flow Analysis (MFA) Method used in industrial. This report focuses on Boothroyd Dewhurst’s (DFE) method that show how it works and applies to the environmental. The software is about Intended as an analysis tool that helps users design products that are easy to disassemble for recycling, reuse or disposal, the software has as its central premise the idea that voluntary environmental design should be a cost-driven activity. The software also help the company reduce cost and save time when make the research. This report include step of design for environmental in the Boothroyd Dewhurst’s, design for assembly in Boothroyd Dewhurst’s, re-design and generate a conceptual design and detail design using CAD software.
