Eco-design with TRIZ laws of evolution

Uncovering ecodesign dilemmas: A path to business model innovation

“…This means many structured, technical tools are developed. For example, the research focuses on tooloriented perspectives such as TRIZ (Russo et al, 2011;2014;Bocken et al, 2011), multicriteria decision-making processes (Niekamp et al, 2015), which can include material selection tools (Al-Oqla, & Sapuan 2015;Al-Oqla et al, 2014) and analytical hierarchy processes (AHP) (Ramanujan et al, 2012). Similarly, Ashby et al (2011) developed a semiquantitative engineering-led method to enable optimisation between product characteristics.…”

“…In the past, such dilemmas, have been described as 'trade-offs' and are most often approached in the literature from a positivist viewpoint, with an emphasis on measurement and the need to compare product characteristics at a product performance level (Brezet & van Hemel, 1997). Despite previous research showing that technical tools fall short of supporting practitioners with handling trade-offs (Byggeth & Hochschorner, 2006) today this emphasis on technical solutions prevails (Niekamp et al, 2015;Bocken et al, 2011;Russo et al, 2011Russo et al, , 2014Russo et al, , 2016.…”

Analysis of alternative actions for import substitution policy implementation in machine engineering complex

“…Manufacture of machine tools is an industry that generates funds, which provides technological equipment all strategic spheres of machinebuilding and the military-industrial complexes [21][22][23].…”

Ecodesign Practices in a Furniture Industrial Cluster of Southern Brazil: From Incipient Practices to Improvement

“…Some endogenous drivers are: cost savings in transportation and in raw materials using, with consequent wastes' management; increasing variety in product offerings; need of environmentally responsible corporate image; reduction in the number of assembly equipment; and overall cut of investment in industrial processes (Vercalsteren, 2001;van Hemel and Cramer, 2002;Costa and Gouvinhas, 2003;Hauschild et al, 2004;Boks, 2006;Borchardt et al, 2009;Kengpol and Boonkanit, 2011;Wiggett and Marcelle, 2013). Exogenous drivers comprise, but are not limited to: need of legislation accomplishment; availability of eco-efficient materials; attainment of supply chain partners' requirements; satisfaction of consumers' demands on environmentally friendly products; and development of new technologies (Vercalsteren, 2001;van Hemel and Cramer, 2002;Costa and Gouvinhas, 2003;Kengpol and Boonkanit, 2011;Russo et al, 2011;Wiggett and Marcelle, 2013).…”
