“…A design change or engineering change is necessary after a requirement change [39]. Li et al [40] analyzed three kinds of uncertainties: activity uncertainty, design uncertainty, and environment uncertainty and quantified the impact of these three uncertainties on rework probability.…”

Requirement changes occur frequently during the product development process owing to diverse and personalized customer needs. This necessitates multiple reworks of the development task, causing delays. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the impact of requirement change on the progress of product development. First, the development task is divided into three phases: concept development, detail design, and pilot production. Reworks that are a result of development error or changes in information are analyzed along with the reworks caused by requirement changes, which are the focus of analysis. Then, development task activities and relationships are quantitatively described, and a simulation model is built based on the system dynamics method. This is combined with a practice case of product development, and the impact of requirement change on the progress of the development task is analyzed. The analysis shows that requirement changes greatly increase the development task duration and uncertainty of the development task schedule. The development task schedule is most sensitive to the deadline for requirement change, and the impact of a requirement change occurring at the later phase is greater.INDEX TERMS product development, requirement change, development progress, system dynamics.

“…A complete and standard performance measurement should be established to link the characteristics of smart factory and its potential environmental outcomes. Second, LCA, life cycle costing (LCC), and life cycle sustainability analysis (LCSA) methods can be integrated to ensure adequate sustainability in terms of economic, environmental, and social benefits (da Luz, de Francisco, Piekarski, & Salvador, 2018;Peruzzini, Gregori, Luzi, Mengarelli, & Germani, 2017).…”

Smart factories have been widely adopted as a new manufacturing paradigm, in which the state‐of‐the‐art technologies are introduced to improve relevant processes. Yet, whether smart factories affect the environmental performance remains unknown. In this article, we examine the environmental performance of a smart refrigerator factory by comparing the environmental impacts of its product to a similar model that is produced in a traditional fashion. This article quantifies and verifies the theoretically predicted impacts of this smart factory on the individual processes. Though the overall differences in the two models are quite minor, we find that this smart factory can notably reduce the values of most impact categories associated with the parts and refrigerator production; the reduction in the value of climate change is 33%. Owing to higher material efficiency—raw material savings in this smart factory contributes to the greatest reductions in most categorized impacts—the contribution to the reduction of climate change is 39%. Yet, all categorized impacts of procurement and delivery are increased due to product personalization and direct delivery. The results of sensitivity analysis show that promoting product modularity, adopting clean energy such as wind power can further improve the environmental performance of the selected refrigerator. The introduction of auxiliary equipment and systems slightly increases the value of each category; yet their impacts are negligible compared to their benefits as facilitating production efficiency. Based on the quantitative results, recommendations are given to improve the environmental performance of smart factory, including optimizing current strategies and promoting horizontal and end‐to‐end integration.

“…The discussion on sustainable development is intensifying (Luz, Francisco, Piekarski, & Salvador, 2018) as demand for products that reconcile innovation and environmental responsibility increases (Uemura Reche, Canciglieri Junior, Estorilio, & Rudek, 2020). In this context, the assessment of the impacts of consumption of products and services, related to SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production), is essential to achieve sustainable development (Hischier, Reale, Castellani, & Sala, 2020).…”

In a context of growing customer needs and requirements and worsening environmental issues, the Product Development Process must adapt to these circumstances, promoting measures that enable sustainable development, thus maintaining balance and synergy in the environmental, social and economic spheres. For this, it is essential to carry out the pre-development of business proposals. In this context, adopting a holistic approach that interrelates various areas of literature, brings together contributions in order to lead society to a resilient and resource-efficient environment. Thus, this research promotes the interrelationship between the Product Development Process and the Sustainable Development Goals and aims to realize the pre-development of a product under the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). To meet the proposed objective, the methodology adopted consists of the adaptation of a pre-development model, selected through bibliographic analysis. The results of this research present the pre-development of a product willing to meet the goals of SDG 6 (drinking water and sanitation) and SDG 7 (accessible and clean energy). It highlights the use of tools to structure and ensure the assertiveness of the proposal, such as IDEF0, SWOT analysis and FMEA.
