Abstract

At present, product development process in automotive industry in Malaysia is characterized by the increases of complexity and frequent changes caused by frequent innovations, fast-growing system complexity, expanding role of software and changing business relationships. This study is based on Design for Sustainability (DFS) & Design for Environment (DFE) and spread out the principle of sustainable and environmental in product design concept. Environmental and sustainable product is a goal to be achieved in every manufacturing process. In way to achieve the goal, many practice or instruments had been introduced and developed. DFS and DFE are the practice or approach that had been used widely in many sectors. This study also attempts to clarify the issues which are liable to influence the outcome of the development of new products or redesign of an existing product. This report describes research to establish a set of sustainable and environmental characteristics for product design as early as at development stage. It goes into detail how the characteristics can be used as a methodology or tools to guides the design process. At the end, a set of information or model on related to DFS and DFE to be developed according to this study.
