Assessing the New Product Development Process for the Industrial Decarbonization of Sustainable Economies

Abstract

This study aims to find out the significant stages of new product development process for the industrial decarbonization of sustainable economies by using interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The findings demonstrate that commercialization is the most significant process of new product generation process of industrial decarbonization. Moreover, it is also concluded that with respect to the sub-criteria, cost analysis, and performance evaluation have the highest weights. An effective cost analysis is required in the new product development process. The costs of the product development process can in some cases be much higher than anticipated. This situation eliminates the effectiveness of the newly developed product. In this context, companies need to make the necessary plans for the costs of these new products correctly. On the other hand, it is important to follow the costs in detail during the process. Otherwise, the product that does not provide a cost advantage will not be preferred by industrial companies. This will cause the actions to be taken to reduce carbon emissions to fail.

Yeşil Hastanelerin Gelişimi İçin Stratejik Unsurların Belirlenmesi: Enerji Bazlı Faktörlere Yönelik DEMATEL Yöntemi ile Bir Analiz

“…Ek olarak, sera gazı emisyonu yayan enerji kaynakları yerine sürdürülebilir olan yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yönelim gösterilmesi söylenmektedir. Tıbbi cihazların sızıntı kontrolleri sağlanmalı, anestezi gazlarının ölçülü kullanımı planlanmalı ve oksit gazı yerine hidrojen ve peroksit gazları kullanılması şeklinde alternatifler geliştirilmelidir [21]. Atıkların yok edilmesi için ayrılan alanların kontrolü düzenli olarak sağlanmalıdır.…”

Balanced-Scorecard-Based Evaluation of Knowledge-Oriented Competencies of Distributed Energy Investments

“…Qualified personnel is also essential for developing the knowledge-based competencies of distributed energy projects [34]. Competent personnel should avoid disruptions in these projects, which involve complex engineering processes [37]. This personnel will also help to solve the problems that may arise in the projects in a timely and correct manner [38].…”

Offering Carbon Smart Options through Product Development to Meet Customer Expectations

“…Still, bringing these from the laboratory to the manufacturing floor, especially in metal processing industries where substitution if difficult, is a complex engineering challenge. The decarbonization of a new product development process must also be cost sensitive in order to succeed in the long run, and this process is a taxing one, often times requiring trial and error [19]. For our further detailed analysis, we retained requirements related to the cost-benefit perceived balance, materials and supply chains.…”
